Kmart Closing In Williamsport, Pa

[@tindal38]

I live in South Carolina but born& raised in Williamsport and go back to visit family yearly. I loved this Kmart too. I remember my Great Grammie Switzer taking us to Grants and eating in the cafeteria. Great memories 🥰

[@Born2BeWildOfficial]

I remember this place, it wasn’t maintained very well. Dirty and musty. Brings back memories though

[@presleyamericangirldollcha6629]

Love your vids and what you do you are awesome💖💜

[@rbrock2928]

Love that Kmart “smell”. Every Kmart has it, as it hits you as soon as the door opens.

[@loydkline4686]

❤️Kmart popcorn smell, ❤️ toys, kmart specials,, shoes movies, music, film,

[@garbage854]

Good video sad another one is closing.

[@stevenlarabee3439]

I like the signage and the brick work I wish every kmart had it...

[@nikkireeexplores407]

They have a variety of things to choose from still.Great tour Wallie!

[@davidconrad3681]

Fixtures are cool. I like shelving

[@Dibblerulez]

This was my local Kmart. It's a hobby lobby now. I miss Kmart

[@elsashaw6375]

Back in the day, that Kmart had a cafeteria. I would go there in the morning and have breakfast.

[@georgetrains6168]

I miss my old kmart in my home town

[@cheaplaughkennedy2318]

Really nice old town 👍

[@eugeneney9945]

Great video as always. Also, the former K-Mart in Weirton was also a former Grant City Department store.

[@beachbuggy]

Hey the bathroom thing. Osha only requires a bathroom for employees. Only sit down restaurants are required to have public resturants.

[@MrMentalia]

hey wallie. big fan of the channel man!! just wanted to share something i thought you would love. my mom and dad met at kmart in 1978 started dating in 1979 and married in 1980. theyre still together in 2020. the store they met at has since closed, but its cool because my brother and i both worked at the store where they met. i actually did as my dad and met a girl there whom i fell in love with (until she cheated on me but you know life happens) kmart holds very special place for me in my heart in so many ways. i love that you show these videos man to keep the spirit alive. also my mom and dad love your videos!! next time you visit a kmart (all mine are gone in my area) if you could snag another register light id happily buy it from u as i think it would be a great anniversary present for them. (keep the light of their love alive in a way from where they met) keep on trucking man!!

[@ZeeMann_Retail]

Great looking store. Just another one to bite the dust unfortunately.

[@TheFredster24]

cool to see you stopped at my kmart

[@grand_vacation]

Love how they're playing "Soak up the Sun" in January.. in Pennsylvania lol

[@dylanlewis2835]

The Mustard thing is Facebook famous lol!!!

[@ryanjosephhaywood96]

I live in williamsport, Pennsylvania and it's very sad to see it go

[@myfavoriteturd7855]

So sad 😢

[@DeKrampus]

You mentioned that the KMart was an old Grant's store and I instantly had a flood of memories of the one my mom worked at (Pontiac IL.). It too was taken over by KMart. Thanks for making this video and the wonderful trip down memory lane.

[@jet34thehawk]

Awesome video man

[@JackVegetables18]

A shame to see that its closing that was such a nice kmart but its only a matter of time when they will all be gone awesome video bro

[@Jbaz79]

Definitely a very different looking Kmart can tell it was something else before.Hopefully it won’t stay vacant long looks like the building is in good shape for another business.

[@danieljwilson7918]

Hi Wallie. Our Kmart in Lockport NY, which closed in 2002 if I remember right, was originally a Grants before Kmart bought them and this Kmart looks almost exactly like our Kmart did and brought back huge memories for me. Wallie, that Kmart could almost be a twin to what ours was being a former Grants. Our Kmart has mostly been divided into a plaza like setting which today houses Office Max, Harbor Freight Tools, Dollar Tree, Steak and Sushl Restaurant and still has some empty space as well. Really enjoy your videos Wallie!!!!!! Looks like Fast Eddie is trying to make fast bucks by selling everything!!!!!!!!

[@mallaholicretailadventures]

Interesting looking Kmart. A lot of great fixture finds in there.

[@Jessica-by2sh]

I was there just last year. Surreal that this one is closing, too. I remember when Selinsgrove closed, and how outdated everything was. I think Wilkes Barre is still open, but I'm not sure anymore lol

[@josephcomorosky8487]

Wilkes barre is shutting down..everything is just like that store.

[@rickprobst5757]

nice I just see you posted this Today this store is about a mile from my house and it is a Really nice Kmart

[@victoriamckee153]

I remember that kmart I live near there

[@Decade8Media]

Every store that's closing (Not just Kmart) uses the exact same "store closing" . "Nothing Held Back" signage.

[@asamojomaster]

I recently visited my local kmart again and everything is being moved to the front. They were selling 4 electric shopping carts for $50 a piece, however they all had "out of order" signs rendering them useless. They were even selling shelves and a special refrigerator from the pharmacy

[@rickprobst5757]

the Lycoming Mall is closing here too all the stores all slowly closing

[@Jessica-by2sh]

That's a shame. I used to prefer going there over Susquehanna Valley Mall , but even SVM is basically dead.

[@ambikawolf664]

Great video as always. I can walk to the Des Plaines IL Kmart but now I usually ignore it. Too depressing.

[@keepingitreal71]

I miss going into one to look for a movie, get my prescriptions and have lunch... NO THANKS TO EDDIE...

[@beachbuggy]

This is a former Grants Department Store. Whenever you see green tile and these types of lights, thats a Grant's.

[@michaelblair5767]

My local Kmart closed in December so sad to have no Kmart near me now

[@clairelfhs02]

I keep hoping for some cool goodies to emerge at the Kenosha store. All they have are metal racks and bottles of floor varnish...so many bottles of floor varnish!!

[@jsoo67]

The last K mart that closed last year by me held strong for years, even when Walmart opened pretty much across from it, but it was all just a matter of time.

[@ericd2791]

soon they be no kmart anymore.

[@justinandjasmine4498]

With all these stores closing and so many people online shopping things will get worse and one day there will be no where to go and we will never leave our homes except to go to a park or something and who wants to do that everyday...one decade we were couch potatoes and now we are worse sitting at computers and rarely leaving homes!!

[@TheAskTrixieChannel]

The BP on Perry Highway (the corner of Perry and Three Degree Road) is abandoned and boarded up now.

[@scottyb7979]

Been to that location many times going back to the early 70's (thru early 80's). Sad to see. The restaurant was good if I remember right. Don't know if they kept that more recently.

[@michaelk487]

Should have grabbed the couple of watches if they had them

[@elijahschrack8513]

A Popeyes and texas roadhouse opened next to it also

[@jackson5116]

I never understood why Kmart never replaced that putrid green tile. Every Grants-turned-Kmart store I've been in or seen all has it, even 40+ years later!

[@billweigle5695]

I miss Kmart!!!

[@ZLukensStudios]

I worked at this KMart for almost a year as overnight stock. Man was it some of the most fun times I’ve ever had at a job! If anyone has any general questions about this specific store, I’ll try my best to answer them!

[@Sleeve_Did_It]

[@kevincadventures2976]

There's a Kmart over in rehoboth beach Delaware that's closing

What was Grants?

[@robertscott4329]

Just like a kmart but on steroids. Most were close to 200,000 sq ft. they sold every thing kmart / Walmart did but also had massive appliance departments they were the first super centers. Not sure why it failed maybe shoppers weren't ready for that big of a store.

[@kevinsaltsman495]

Here's an updated comment that Kmart is now hobby lobby

[@elijahschrack8513]

Update this store was turned into a hobby lobby except for the restaurant

[@stphinkle]

Seems like Lampert, Transform Holdco, and ESL Investments continue to run Kmart into the ground.

[@andybbeck2043]

Wallie living in the UK and not been to USA in a whike did they start shutting stores that were still taking good sales .such a shame

[@slackingpacking]

I can hear Nelly Furtado, the Fray, Maroon 5 in the background lol. Wow they’re selling a lot of stuff. I would’ve bought. a lot of it.

SOON TO BE BYE-BYE TO KMART IN WILLIAM-SPORT,PENNSYLVANIA FOREVER.

[@stude1953]

what's the closest KMart to Pgh. now?

[@CheapestGamer]

While out this way you should've gone to check out the Berwick, PA Kmart (former Jamesway I believe) and/or the Towanda one. One thing I noticed with this recent round of closures is that the electronics section (save WAY overpriced DVD's and Blu-Rays) seems to be completely gone within the first month of the closing sale. At least in previous waves of closures there were some display model TV's left a few weeks prior to closing.

[@straightgrrrrrizzly]

this store was sold off in late 2018 from sears holdings in what i thought was an effort to save this location. seemed like it was gonna be safe at least for awhile so now i'm confused as to who it was sold to and who made the ultimate decision to close this one.

[@Nathan-xt6gz]

Are any still non closing?

[@williamimhoff1590]

I am interested and approved about kmart closings video that were founded instantly

[@SurfCityBill]

What's up with Lay Away? Is that for people who can't save money on their own?

[@fringestream990]

Bill L well it guarantees your item is on hold until you finish paying for it.

[@misterhat5823]

18:20 That shirt should've been put on clearance in 2014. That it wasn't is just laziness. People like to blame Walmart, but poor management is what put Kmart out of business.

[@GLeibniz1716]

Nice vid would someone please explain to me how closing every store is a strategy to save the franchise? Am I missing something?

[@aprilhdunmoyer]

They get money back that way and don't need to pay the bills for it anymore There's still one in New York that's booming and an Australlia chain that's like 10x better.

[@rickprobst5757]

and depending on what time you we're there I Just missed you I was in there about 3pm

[@Max23465789]

I just can't help but wonder if the whole chain will be gone by 2021 .

[@markglatfelter138]

Probably

[@aliciacleeland2257]

Pretty much! Ours just closed a couple months ago..

[@jackson5116]

Probably in the US, Guam and Puerto Rico may survive due to the lack of competition.

[@taylorp535]

Those magnetic holders that hold expensive merchandise, sadly you can buy the magnet opener online. When I worked for Ross, there was a group of individuals who took 40-50 bottles of fragrance which are kept in those containers and walked right out with the product and hid the containers around the store. I found them and asked how that was possible with out the opener and my manager said they bought it online. Sadly because there is so many people who want to steal, these magnets are online now :( it did not used to be that way.

I wanna go to K!!! ROFL!!!

Is all Ed lampert fault he will go to jail.

[@gaylenewood7707]

Yeah he'll be blowing someone else's kmarts😉😁👍🏻.

[@CheapestGamer]

The fact that they allowed him to buy back the company out of bankruptcy to further loot the corpses of Kmart, Sears and every other asset from the combined companies means that nothing will happen to that piece of human garbage.
