  • Today's Vlog Video we found a Big Kmart near me. We went toured a Vintage Kmart/ Big Kmart Store from the 1990s. It was a throwback to childhood in real life. Very Nostalgic from the "in store music" and 2016 commercials. It was Christmas, there was Layaway all year around though, history of old IBM computers you better haul yourself to this location is not closing anytime soon.

    Now? 3 stores left. In the country. Kmart didn't have the best overall inventory, quality-wise, but they had some decent picks, great Christmas decorations, and one of my go-tos for Halloween as well. Seeing this video now is just...depressing. ( But, I'll enjoy the Kmart items I do have over the holidays for as long as they last. Thanks for the good memories, and God bless to any former employees who miss their old jobs at the store. Dang, I still remember the "Blue Light Specials" with the actual BLUE lights decades ago. )

      Abandoned is a misleading word to use. I'm guessing he meant abandoned, as they never updated much, so it looks like how it did in the 90's, just with new items.

    • @peteri8924
      @peteri8924 6 років тому +1

      Every video I have seen if a Kmart those machines have a sticker on them saying not to liquidate, they have so many versions from over the years. I suspect they have to be distroyed because they have the company name on and need to be calibrated from time to time and they don't want any legal issues, if you sold it for $10 someone messed up.

    • @ilovedorney23
      @ilovedorney23 6 років тому +1

      have you seen the kmart stuff going on ebay after liquidation. some people have made good money on that stuff. when our store was having the going out of business sale someone asked to buy a shopping cart. the manager had a good laugh and said no because it belongs to the company.

    I will forever miss Kmart. When I was about 5 til whatever age, it was/had started as S.S. KRESGEES. A 'dime store' they called them. The one I got to go to in Louisville Ky had a diner...my favorite thing to order was an apple dumpling.

      My day off, bored a bit....came across this video. I was thinking of the kmarts in Louisville and Jeffersonville indiana.
      Honestly and oddly enough....many great memories. Like getting my film development there....being so excited to see my photos. Christmas and back to school layaway....saved my dad and helped him get the things he wanted for us.
      All love.

  • @TralfazConstruction
    @TralfazConstruction 4 роки тому +3

    My local K Mart in southeastern Pennsylvania closed in early 2017. Within a month it'd been demolished and the sum total of that building which held memories of shopping trips was reduced to three large piles of rubble each piece of rubble being no larger than a softball. The steel skeleton had been dismantled and sold for scrap as the remains of the building was ground-up. It was, to say the least, a sad sight.
    In the fall of 2017 construction began on a new supermarket for a large, regional chain. By May of 2018 the doors of the new market were thrown-open to the general public. The area was my old stomping grounds but I have yet to visit this new supermarket though that remains on my must do list.

    isn't it crazy how kmarts never even tried to modernize as the years went by? On Saturday at 6pm I will be posting a video of my exploration of a Big K in it's very last day, and man the floors were horrid, so dirty and soiled with whatever leaked out of the products on the shelves. There were ads and coupons embedded in the sticky floors from the 90s, and even an ad for a PS2 and games like Star Wars Force Unleashed for $50 lol :)

    Yeah, we had a KMart near me until 2015 or so and it looked just like this. Obviously new products but few people shopping ( there was a WalMart next to it ) and very few workers. They didn’t play old music I will say that.

    Yeah, Kmart is a dying breed. I totally HATE shopping there!!! The shopping experience there is not like it used to be. Only a guy at a customer service standing there and just two registers. The service there sucks horribly, like when my Dad tried to ask someone in the Jewelry counter, NO ONE was there. What's more? The Electronics section was horrible, not as great as Walmart's or even Target. Man, I would love to see them go out of business FOR GOOD!

    The Dale City, Virginia Kmart closed in December 2014, which looked like the one in your video. It had opened in 1981. This left the county without a Kmart. The building sat abandoned until summer 2016 when a home decor store came and took over the building. Remember "Attention, Kmart Blue Light Shoppers?"

    Our local K-Mart was turned into several large piles of rubble in the blink of an eye after it closed with, seemingly, no single piece larger than a softball. Adding insult to injury (I'd say) the turn around on the site being used to construct a flagship grocery store was very fast as well. K-Mart is your savings store where your dollar buys you more....

    Dude how young are you? I was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s. Kmart is normal to me. I'm only in my 30s and so Kmart is not ancient by any means. Some are outdated, they bring in low sales so no updating, and those are mostly the ones that closed. But the ones that stayed open are mostly the ones that got updated. Good video though I liked it.

    Kmart executives must be dense or something. They refuse to update or remodel their stores that have looked pretty much the same since the '70s. Even supermarket chains know enough to remodel their stores every 10 years or so. But Kmart refuses to adapt. And they wonder why they're struggling.

    How is this considered abandoned? It’s a working KMart store. Nothing nostalgic about it. It’s still in business and there’s nothing that indicates 1970’s decor in it. What a waste of time.

    Nope not a classic k+mart from 1980"s it has a blood pressure machine no too modern.
    It has no tobacco on the regular shelves without supervision.
    Is lacking arcade games.
    No blue light specialz there.
    The deli is not up front with fresh made subs & soft drinks & fountain machines , or blue/cherry slushies
    Well there decision to merge k mart and Sears. Bad idea no one learned from Ames buying Hills huh.
    Someone needs to come up with another dept"store in all 50 states it's like being on the outer-limits show with Walmart the same crap in every family's house .
