Super Kmart Closing In Warren, OH As Of 3/14/2018

[@sherryk.spicklerstein8337]

I’ve only been to this Super K twice, but it’s still really sad to see it go and to mark the end of an era. Really enjoy these updates you bring us. Thank you for all you do.

[@tichdaddy1]

Awesome work on this, very thorough.. It's sad to see that 80's feel of Kmart slowly fade away. Enjoyed the great 80's songs playing as Super Kamart's background music.. Great memories..will be missed.

[@drakevostrejs563]

All these empty Sears and Kmart's are incredibly depressing 😔

[@Catmannj1]

Another awesome video. The supermarket section was cleaned out, and it looks like the store will be cleaned out in weeks. Thanks to you and Ace for sharing and filming these videos. And I don't blame your feeling about Evil Eddie getting every last penny out of the customers. Also I signed up to be a patron because you deserve this. The work you do is the gift you give to us, and for me something that is more interesting than the junk on TV Stay Awesome Wallieb

[@camhowe349]

I can hear a mother in the background of the video saying No we’re not getting that to her kids.. Great videos as always wallie and that was a walmart giftcard at 13:00

[@camhowe349]

sorry 13:45

[@fihsgirl2009]

Love your videos. Keep em' coming. My Kmart closed a couple of years ago. So sad!

[@AcesAdventures1]

It’s got worse since i was there wow

[@sweetcat1639]

Ace's Adventures when day did u go

[@JenniferJones-qn6lg]

Ace's Adventures I would say, wow, just the contrast between both your documentation and this one just leaves me speechless..... 😮

[@nancyhicksgribble9799]

Anthony, I keep hearing your technical difficulties part lol

[@as6110]

Ace's Adventures it really has gone massively downhill. If I didn't actually know it was the same store, I'd never believe it. And you were there not too long ago.

[@JoeyLeddzDippin94]

Wow, I can't believe how empty and depressing it is now. What a shame. Great vid as always, Wallie!

[@verwahrlost_aber_frei]

The comparison about the product names on the teal stripe to Ames reminds me of something I noticed as a kid- sometimes Kmart and Ames would have identical products, but different colors. Like I remember my friend had these pink and white shoes from Ames, and I had the same ones but in blue and white and they were from Kmart. I also vaguely remember seeing stuff like that all the time in the different fliers (color reversal and stuff.) always made me wonder if they were ran by the same people or what not lol

[@DaniRadioCat]

Heh, in the Northeast there's a supermarket chain called Price Chopper/Market 32, ever heard of them? They seem to be heading towards a similar fate as Kmart/Sears too, you'd think Eddie Lampert owned them

[@verwahrlost_aber_frei]

Danika Sidoti Price Chopper/Market 32 is such a mess omg

[@lindagoreham2238]

This Kmart was like the grand daddy of all Kmarts, it had everything. What a shame to see it go.

[@jc19766]

I remember there was a Super Kmart just outside of Uniontown, PA back in the late 1990's. I'm not sure when it closed, but it was a huge store sitting on top of a hill. Pretty nice for Fayette County.

[@cynthiarose1957]

There were 2 super K marts in South suburban Chicago Illinois. One in Homewood closed and became a super Wal-Mart. One in Tinley park closed and building still sitting empty for now. They looked the same as the one in Ohio. Just like the 90s. Thanks for the awesome video of the last super K. I enjoyed it.

[@Deal190]

I remember going to the one in Homewood when I was a little kid. It was the only store in the area open 24 hours.

[@ccateni28]

So Sad. :( Thanks Eddie Lamjerk

[@LindaFromSeaAtTull]

ccateni 28 Uncle Fast Eddie

[@ccateni28]

That's an insult to the Fast Eddie gas station stop chain, so I just call him Eddie LamJerk. No one uses the name for a business and its the truth.

[@coffeenow2382]

Yesterday's memories do not pay today's bills. Kmart brought this on themselves, and people vote with their wallets. I bet half the people saying this is sad didn't even shop in this store once a month. Adios, blue light specials...

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

It is a shame. Kmart could probably make a comeback if they wanted to.

[@disneyfan9099]

Daniel's Channel Kmart sucks.

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

Then why are you watching a video on Kmart?

[@dootuss83]

Daniel's Channel Because he's a loser troll. I bet Disney Fan is the guy disliking/trolling Wallie.

[@BoogieButts]

To late daniel, they always leaned hard to the baby boomers, and never stayed with the times. plus there clothing lines where out dated for the times and not very fashionable, driving young consumer away as time progressed.but i do miss my sears here in town , only for its craftsman tools though.

[@contour157]

your moms nickname is kmart? well..

[@spencelean]

I'm surprised the areas void of any merchandise weren't sectioned off with yellow tape.

[@ScareFestTTV]

Wallie PLEASE tell me you picked up that Super Kmart Grand Opening flyer you found at 17:30

[@ViperJay5]

Now it's soon to suffer the grand closing :(

[@ScareFestTTV]

Viper Jay 5 Sadly 😔 I'm in Canada but I've seen Walmart take it's tole on competitors up here too. There used to be a chain called Zellers here which beat them all... killed Kmart Canada, Towers, Woolco, and many others but then Walmart came to Canada in 1994 and really hit us. Then fast forward to 2013 Target expanded into Canada by taking over Zellers, went bankrupt less than 2 years later and crawled back home with $7 Billion in debt 🙈🙈🙈

[@WallieB26]

I did get it!

[@SebastianSteele]

8:07 damn, it’s the whole community

[@devinmoran2660]

Wallie, I live in Connecticut and just within a 20 min drive from my house there’s a Wendy’s that’s abandoned, babies r us and toys r us going out of business. A sears that is soon to be consolidating to one floor rather than 2 floors , a Benny’s which was like a Ames kind of... was in business for like 50 years and it just closed less than a year ago( I have a pic), a Tim hortons that’s been closed for years, an abandoned Pizza Hut, gym, hair salon and restaurant. I’m sure there’s more but these are literally within 20 min of my house. Soooooo crazy!!! Within 5 minutes from me back in the day we used to have a Caldor, Ames, Zayres, Bradlees and Mr.Bigs. So insane that all those awesome stores were so close to me. Then Wal Mart showed up and shut them all down :( But I’m beyond obsessed with old abandoned places and I came across your page some time ago. Absolutely addicted hahaha! Thanks for all your hard work!! I appreciate it! Oh and you make me laugh too! :) -Devin

[@stephenfecteau5898]

Looks like they are gradually moving the remaining merchandise to a central part of the store as stuff sells down.

[@robertfowler6721]

I bought the blue container at 18:15. I own that!

[@dylanlewis2835]

Robert Fowler what was in it

[@robertfowler6721]

Dylan Lewis the old bakery stickers

[@dylanlewis2835]

Do they say Super K

[@robertfowler6721]

Dylan Lewis Nooo

[@as6110]

Robert Fowler that sucks. No logo!?

[@KoubuPilot]

I remember the Kmart at Dobson and Broadway here in Mesa, AZ having disgusting bathrooms. The location I went to as a kid at Lindsay and Main St (near the Starlite Motel's and its neon Diving Lady) had its bathrooms in the hallway where you had layaway and the person at the layaway counter would have to buzz you into the bathroom.

[@contour157]

kept theft down

[@markkopczinsky7803]

Hi Wallie just came across your videos love all of them it is sad about kmart.and other store my Kmart closed about five months ago all these stores closing my child hood is going.away keep up the good work look forward to your next adventure

[@RealKansasMan]

How many Kmarts are left? Seems to me that there are a ton of them yet. As always, enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting, Wallie!

[@DanielsCarTalkChannel]

They could focus more in appliances. You can’t buy a refrigerator, washer/dryer, dishwashers, at Wal Mart and Target but you can at Kmart. Free idea for them

[@disneyfan9099]

Daniel's Channel This is what Home Depot and Lowe’s is for.

[@jackson5116]

which is only because of the Sears branch going into Kmart. This whole merger really screwed up both instead of helping both.

[@as6110]

Daniel's Car Talk Channel there had been talk of Sears doing smaller format stores that focused on those types of items. I think they maybe have piloted it, but it failed.

[@edwardsr70]

Walmart is selling refrigerators and freezers now. So they capitalized on that 😀

[@user-ci9ri4fl5pBuckeyeChessie]

Did you acquire the Super Kmart Centre grand opening flyer???

[@Catmannj1]

Maybe your troll is Mr Lambert from Sears Holdings, jealous of the HONEST commentary on how he's destroying his company

[@watershed44]

Catman Mark Blanchard Yes indeed or somebody working on behalf of "Fast Eddie". He has murdered two retail icons , Sears being almost 100 years old.

[@busy_lol_4026]

Eddie _Lambhurt_ . Just.... dang...

[@vertiighost2938]

Wow. My grandparents live out there in Warren so I did go to this Kmart on occasion. The last time I was here was in August 2017. It looks so different now...

[@danielroberto2209]

Wow! This store was laid out the same as the one in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. I worked there for 8 years! It closed in the early 2000's.

[@camhowe349]

To Eddie the Kmart CEO of Kmart and Sears you have ruined and destroyed this company

[@LoveClassicMusic0205]

Lampert has his share of the blame, but things were bad even before he came along. They had already filed bankruptcy once before. The leadership under Joseph Antonini and Charles Conaway (especially Conaway) really ruined what was once a great store. They have never recovered from that and Lampert is just the final nail in the coffin.

[@jackson5116]

He exasperated it, but if Sears had pushed their catalog online, and if Kmart had invested into stores like this instead of buying Sears, it's a complete 180 from where they are today.

[@dootuss83]

Cam Howe Things were bad before Lampert came into the picture. But, did he worsen the situation? Absolutely.

[@camhowe349]

CryptKeeper83 i found this from a search on google www.elliott.org/company-contacts/sears/

[@stephenholloway6893]

Sears never to my knowledge filled for bankruptcy, Kmart did. Yes both of them (especially Kmart) has been in trouble financially for nearly 30 years, ever since Wal-Mart took over as the number one retailer then Amazon and online shopping took off as well. One does wonder what would had happened had they never merged? Would Kmart closed sooner? Would Sears be better off without Kmart?

[@IGotThePooDoo]

Unless I was mistaken, wasn't this the last one, too? End of an era here.

[@midnightbutter6965]

KZbin Red Subscription Service - Subscribe and pay me 10 bucks a month yes this is the last Super Kmart in existence

[@dallasbittinger5490]

Are you going to do Toys R Us updates now that they are closing all stores in the US

[@bigloudnoise]

As someone who lives in an area not server by Meijer and LOVES the rare opportunity I get to go to one while traveling, that's definitely a worthy replacement to go into that location. I agree that Meijer is so much better than Walmart, I wish they were here in Iowa. That said, I share the sentiment that it's sad to see the last Super K in the entire world closing down. I fear this is going to be the final year for the entire company, both Kmart and Sears.

[@compy2273]

At 17:30 that flyer was pretty great.

[@QuinnDickinson2610]

Is it just me or does it seem like a ton of Kmarts have giant ventilation/ AC vents in every store (besides this). I swear all the Kmarts in my area and a few others have them.

[@mrcavalier3370]

When does it close?

[@WallieB26]

mr cavalier33 April 8.

[@S8CEO]

Just like Sears in the Westminster mall California

[@retailexplorationwithdanny8070]

I don’t get why there are closing they were doing good

[@barrylee41]

Danny Bosarge its because corporate can't keep it open cause of all the money they are losing at thier other store and poor management at corporate

[@dootuss83]

Danny Bosarge Kmart has been struggling for years actually. If they and Sears make it to 2019, I'll be shocked.

[@retailexplorationwithdanny8070]

My Kmart is busy and not closing

[@retailexplorationwithdanny8070]

I love Kmart

[@ViperJay5]

I wouldn't be so sure, Danny. Our Kmart was doing great too, in fact it was one of the best performing Kmarts in the company...and then bam, they got the notice to close it down. Turns out the one who was leasing them the building after that stupid sell off your buildings and lease them back deal, they wanted $100,000 a month for rent and they couldn't make it so now the building is sitting empty. Yay for greed! Now instead of getting something, they are getting nothing, or perhaps a tax writeoff, who knows.

[@technologyproductions-ye3px]

Honestly I am surprised all of them haven't closed

[@TananBaboo]

Hope you got that grand opening flyer.

[@WallieB26]

sgauntt I did!

[@emeryclarkscarsanimatronic6999]

I was going to come see you, but I didn't know what day you were gonna be there

[@1998MonroeNYColonial]

Looks like this last remaining Super Kmart is just about defunct.

[@03HemiCentralIN]

Well it makes since they close it since their grocery supplier SuperValu doesn't have stores or Distribution centers near there any more. Imagine the cost to ship the food there. I'm lucky I have one of the last Cub Foods out of MN here in Freeport Illinois.

[@GreenMan893x]

Zachary Solomon I live in MN and my local cub foods sucks. It’s only open because it’s in a location where people only use EBT and Wic.

[@03HemiCentralIN]

GreenMan893x interesting, I wonder if it because the one in Freeport is so busy, and they hold a lot of charitable things there for the community. The one thing to avoid though is the self checkout, I hate those machines.

[@retailexplorationwithdanny8070]

Wearing green no pinch then happy st. Patrick day

[@wendyokoopa7048]

Thanks wallie these are fantastic

[@BigWill1980]

This Super K was my first job when I was 16 in the 90's right after they built it.

[@tehdudester]

Thank you for the extra risk you took to get us behind the scenes stuff like the grand opening flyer and the deli kitchen area.

[@darveystrozier4780]

Can I tell you something that happened in March 2021 so I was sitting on arm of the couch in my living I was only 11 and a half years old and then I fell off the couch and landed on the ground and my arm hearted so bad

[@robertfowler6721]

The aisle signs are for sale now

[@newcreation07]

Please do a video of the super kmart on its last day

[@thrillington2008]

Enjoying the mish mash of hits playing in the background even heard strawberry letter 23

[@2004RADMAN]

Hello Wallie thanks for doing these videos. Wish I could send you money to help you. Keep up the good work.

[@crystalscan2002]

so sad the end of a era ;(

[@stephenfecteau5898]

when did they start closing down?

[@joey4life94]

You know Kmart is going out of business really really soon when the last super Kmart in the usa is going out. After toys r us in 2-3 months closes Kmart is right behind them

[@JRH-1007]

j skat, I wouldn't doubt it. Personally, I was pretty shocked to hear Toys R Us kicked it before Kmart. I was almost certain not store chain would beat it to extinction, let alone one with a downfall that was relatively sudden.

[@miriamasillo5860]

Very depressing

[@delta_cosmic]

True shame. I use to come here when I was little.

[@christinebeaumont]

Running the coolers keeps them from smelling 👍🏻 trust me, you’re happy they’re not turned off. 🤮🤢

[@ThresholdDreamer111]

SO. MANY. MANNEQUINS. That's where they all are! Haha. Good to see so many videos from you lately. Although, with the retailpocalypse in full swing, there's no shortage of material to be had. Well, take care, and STAY AWESOME!

[@ViperJay5]

Don't let Markiplier near them :)

[@anthony3246]

Tell me you took the grand opening sign!

[@snowandice8804]

What is that nasty stuff under the gondolas?

[@MikeSmith-wm5gr]

Snow and Ice wax build up , gunk , funk , urine .

[@EC4U2C_Studioz]

Looks like it would close earlier than the anticipated closing date.

[@gott2641]

Hey, at 8:18 is that the Silver Surfer?! XD

[@garbage854]

Sad !! that it is closing

[@AndysRetailExploration]

This looks like a Little Caesar’s to me instead of K Cafe, tho didn’t there used to be a Little Caesar’s?

[@nancydarling4918]

Another great video. Thanks.

[@randomstuffchannel4327]

Do you think if they would have not been offered money for the property that this store would have made it to the very end of kmart’s business?

[@martz1191]

I hope another company gobbles up that huge store. A grocery store chain would be best suited for the space, even if it's cut in half.

[@LoveClassicMusic0205]

It would be a good thing if this location became a Meijer. As someone from Michigan where they're headquartered, Meijer is a great store. I shop there a lot. It's a family run business and you can tell. I can think of at least two locations where Meijer has bought out old Kmart stores and converted them. One is in Southfield, MI and the other is in Lincoln Park which was an old Super K location.

[@disneyfan9099]

LoveClassicMusic0205 Yeah there are not bad

[@jackson5116]

It finally looks like an average Kmart now!!

[@starfish18seb]

If Meijer goes into this store, they are a good supermarket. There produce is very good. I am from the Detroit area and shop Meijer all the time.

[@WallieB26]

This is identical to the Super K I grew up going to. Seriously, it’s identical. The city just demolished the building after sitting for a year...

[@miltongulick5196]

When a new business comes into at Kmart could you film cuz it's kind of odd what you just said it's coming into that business..

[@BigJayJay_real]
