I’m so sad our Kmarts are out of business in the states. I worked for them and the only reason why they went out of business is because Eddie Lampert who deliberately stop investing in our stores and merged us with Sears. I would love to go to Australia and shop at your Kmarts. I hear they are amazing and so much better.
Man. There used to b a kmart in Hayward doing a very good job in business. But it started slowing down. It shut down in april of 2021, and is now in construction being opened as a new plaza. I used to get literally all my school supplies in omart. I miss those days
NJ is out (Closing soon). I am placing my bets on the New York location being the last one. My mom used to work at the K Cafe when I was a kid. We lost our two kmarts a year apart. One in 2012 and the other in 2013.
dont worry if your lucky to be in austraila theres kmart there :) or you dont live there go there a vacation (im not austrailian im telling you there is still kmart there.) and im late.
Kmart in NY too much money Kmart in NJ not lucrative enough Kmart in Miami also expensive but you are in Miami good weather most of the time. In the southern most part of East Coast.
That’s right it had a food court I had forgotten about that… but later on they closed the food at the Kmart I was close to so now I know y I forgot I last saw it with out one.. my dad worked in the auto place he was a mechanic there he revived all these little rewards & pins & free Easter baskets, group pics infront of Kmart.. etc. it was a nice experience for him..
My mom worked at K-Mart when she was in high school lol she tells me all the stories about when she worked at the concession stand selling pretzels and popcorn to the old men that liked talking to her lmao
Kmart didn't learn their lesson as a company came out of bankruptcy within 4 years or less turned around and bought another business that was having Financial trouble which was Sears instead of coming out of bankruptcy and just concentrating on Kmart only that investment was their total downfall. Along with the contribution to this last CEO that is in charge Work for Kmart for 25 years
fun fact: for some reason it says there are still like 20 kmarts open on google maps and its weird cause kmarts opening sores and one was closed permantly but they took down the for lease sign in 2023 and its temporarily closed.
Obvs Miami. This store downsized but has a new layout. The one in Westwood is shutting down and the bridge Hampton kmart doesn’t have any customers because of the messy and unorganised layout. It is also very outdated.
Source, or are you just speculating? I do believe that the Miami one will probably be the last to close though since I think it's smaller so it will be easier to maintain and be less of a cost. But you could also run this argument as evidence that it would close sooner, as a smaller store would be easier to shut down.
It's cool to see my photos getting used for this kind of content. The photo of the regesters and the photo of the sign on the trailer were from kmart 7010 stevens point wi.
My town had one of the last few K-Marts for a long time, I think it only closed a few years ago can’t remember the exact date. But I remember about once every 6 months or so I’d go check it out just to remind myself “oh that’s why I never shop here!”
We had one in St. George Utah until 2019. I was hoping ours would hold out the longest. It had kinda just turned into the biggest convenient store in town. It was kind of a mess the last three years or so, but it stayed open because they always had things that Target and Walmart didn't, especially with movies, toys, and video games. You could find some real gems there. Anyway, I'd say I miss it, but it was a crap hole, and someone just bought and is remodeling it soon. Don't remember what it is gonna be though.
I think the one in Miami is going to be at home. Kmart has shrunk to the garden center area size and sold off the store to at home now running out of the garden center. The garden center went from a kmart garden center to the hole store selling gardening goods to all of Kmarts goods what ever is left in 2023.
Miami will likely be last of those 3 stores to remain. I know its the oddball out since the other 2 are close together, but Miami is likely being kept alive by Kmart Caribbean. I think there is still 4 Kmarts left in the Caribbean Sea, buy for Miami to close those others would need to close 1st
We also have the only Payless and Radio-shacks in the entire country remaining for what it’s worth. Crazy we had a few more Kmarts just a few years ago too!
There was one in Alabama I remember always going to Kmart such a recognizable store with its big K I would never forget it because Kmart was closing there was no one showing up for like a few months and then they did a big sale which k thought was there return but it would be the last time I would step and see that Kmart it closed and it was left abandon for 1 year until 2 years from now it turned into five below I will always remover that place as Kmart
This is not a sad to me as sears. Since the 1800s, it was the backbone of retail in America. You could pick up a Sears catalog and order everything from a pair of socks to an entire house. They were monstrous and they were everywhere. It shows you what bad management and an unwillingness to change will do
The NY one is blue because the shopping center it is in is one of the many shopping centers which is themed to a specific color.
I’m calling for the one in Miami.
Risky choice considering the place had a burn down recently
the place got downgraded
The store has been downsized to the garden center and back part of the store
At home has took most of the store
It’s was like closed a year ago
We even had a Super Kmart not far from where I live up to the early 2000s. Now its gone. 😢
Broo super kmarts were the best😢
Cringe
@@fatpanda9999⁉️
I miss Kmart ! My mom worked at one for years and my sister & I would go there every day after school to hang out in the food court ....
@Kush S I wish !!
Geez what a life..
Same my mom had a job there and she always took me there and when i pass that old building the nostalgia just comes back😭😭
@@teehee_41018 same ! They had the best breakfast foods ever , like real biscuits and gravy!!
@@trinahughes1230 fr and im so sad that they are gone😭
As a Australian there are tons of kmarts

@@tman4915they merged because they were both failing.
Kmart was guilty of chasing the leader but not training like the leader.
Those kmarts are different. They have cheaper products and are less like America's traditional discount stores

Li one is still open
therapist: blue kmart is not real, he cant hurt you
blue kmart:
The one on Guam
Yep! And it's still open to this day. No competition on the island.
I'm calling it for the New York location (the blue Kmart)
Wait. There's one in Guam?
Lost
The blue kmart is currently being looted
Kmart is my most Favorite store of all until it shut down 😢
dont worry if your lucky to be in austraila theres kmart there :) or you dont live there go there a vacation (im not austrailian im telling you there is still kmart there.) and im late.
Go to the Long Island one in Bridgehampton!
They just removed the big KMart sign from the one in Miami and replaced it with a KMart banner. 2/3rds of the floor space is unused.
Another store is taking over there, and KMART will move to the lawn and garden center.
@@peacefuldaizy5717 They already did. I went there about a month ago
Yup, At Home. i think since the new jersey location closed and the florida location was downgraded, the new york location will last longest.
@@whywescnhcimdeqo and I’ve seen video of the NY location, and it look like it’s fully stocked up.
😢😢
Kmart in NY too much money
Kmart in NJ not lucrative enough
Kmart in Miami also expensive but you are in Miami good weather most of the time. In the southern most part of East Coast.
NY Blue kmart gang
👇
yeah the one in miami was downgraded for an At Home and the one in westwood (nj) closed recently
Yes
@@whywescnhcimdeqoyea just the Li one is open..
All will last Kmart will be back

New Jersey just announced closing
They been closed
Now there’s 2 k marts because the new jersey’s has been closed 😢
The Miami k mart is the last Kmart to exist
There’s still one in Guam where I used to go to
hes talking kmarts in mainland 48+ hawaii and alaska not territorys
but if we do incldue territorys theres 3 kmarts in america cuz new jersey closed
Who is here after the one in Westwood New Jersey is closing?

Westwood N.J kmart has closed already, its only miami, and new york left
It has not fullu closed yet, It is still liquidating but it will be permanently closed probably by October
fun fact: for some reason it says there are still like 20 kmarts open on google maps and its weird cause kmarts opening sores and one was closed permantly but they took down the for lease sign in 2023 and its temporarily closed.
So much better than Walmart and Target 😢
No the Miami one because if they downsize it means that it will stay for a long time.
The American Kmarts located in the US territories like Guam and Virgin islands are most likely going to be the last ones to stay opened.
NEW YORK
Obvs Miami. This store downsized but has a new layout. The one in Westwood is shutting down and the bridge Hampton kmart doesn’t have any customers because of the messy and unorganised layout. It is also very outdated.
Ummm the Li stores not messy or disorganized. I was there in March and everything was organized.
Well now there is only 2 of them left!
With The NJ store gone, we only have 2 stores left. I think the one in Miami was last the longest.
The Kmart in New Jersey is officially shutting down.
Omg this just made me remember the *blue light special*
3. NJ
2. NY
1. Miami
Thanks Eddie Lambert.
The Kendale Lakes/Miami one will win. 😛
New York's is closing in 2025 in Miami will be the last Kmart in the USA

But you could also run this argument as evidence that it would close sooner, as a smaller store would be easier to shut down.
I used to love K-Mart! 😢
The kmart in long islands has made it longer than one in New Jersey that's closed in 2023
The Guam one will be the last man standing.
My guess is Bridgehampton, NY. Spring 2024.
😢😢damn
There is still one in guam 🇬🇺 and i visited it.
Blue light special.
The Kmart in Guam will last longest, idk why but it might survive and be the only Kmart standing.
Im standing behind ney york!
Any updates on this? Seeing this was posted in 2022 and is now 2024
The one in New Jersey has closed in 2023 that's leaving in Long Island New York and Miami Florida
Still going hard here in Australia, there's 4 in my small city alone 😅 Probably one in every suburb of Sydney.
Not the same Kmart
Someone has a good life
@@RomiFrmDaK it's just the Aussie version
That version of Kmart isn’t connected to the actual brand.
You mean a knockoff version?
Someone was saying that Kmart is already trying to sale or lease the last 3, not sure if it's true but at this point I would say it's probably true.
They’re only two now the one in New Jersey closed. I think the Miami ones next. But I feel like the New York ones is gonna stay for a long time.
Only Guam is the last hope
and the virgin islands

My local kmart lasted till 2016 when it closed permanently on August 14
The kmart in Miami Florida and brighahamton new York has made it
Now there's two kmarts.
We had one in St. George Utah until 2019. I was hoping ours would hold out the longest. It had kinda just turned into the biggest convenient store in town.

Kmart is still big here in Australia, i think. It's been a while since i've gone outside
It’s not the same brand
Same in NZ
Posted a video for difference between Target Australia and Target USA
One in Westwood NJ is closing by September 20
The one in Miami was on 37th Ave and 7th Street but that was like 2 years ago though
I think the Miami one will be closing soon it’s ran sacked and stuff it’s old we all miss kmart
I miss Kmart and the Kcafe and the blue light specials.
There is five million Kmarts in Australia (that is where I live in) and its running
Lucky
thats good because if kmart goes foreva it still exsits in aus
I think the one in Miami is going to be at home. Kmart has shrunk to the garden center area size and sold off the store to at home now running out of the garden center.

Blue!
Its now red
@@Iconic_maya9 wah i went there just before they remodeled and it didn't even have a sign lol that was in december of 2022

@@Lowkey_OmiYOOO WHERE
Blue Kmart is real
I think the Miami one will
There is currently two kmarts
Stocked for Kmart in TX for several weeks....one of the worst jobs I ever had.
There goes New Jersey! 2 left now
NJ one is getting ready to close I think
There was one in Alabama I remember always going to Kmart such a recognizable store with its big K I would never forget it because Kmart was closing there was no one showing up for like a few months and then they did a big sale which k thought was there return but it would be the last time I would step and see that Kmart it closed and it was left abandon for 1 year until 2 years from now it turned into five below I will always remover that place as Kmart
😢😢😢
The one in Miami
It is blue because it is in a shopping center. All the stores in the shopping center have blue signs
This is like the political arena red and blue 😂
The New York one bc I live in new york
This is not a sad to me as sears. Since the 1800s, it was the backbone of retail in America. You could pick up a Sears catalog and order everything from a pair of socks to an entire house. They were monstrous and they were everywhere. It shows you what bad management and an unwillingness to change will do
I miss the Hawaii kmart they let you eat little Caesars while shopping
Basically every kmart until the only
One with a little caesars is the one in guam.
I’m going Miami
Bridgeport New York
And there One in Guam one in Saint Croix vigine islands and two in Saint Thomas left
4 if you count abanoned i have one near me by a abandoned sears
Sears😢
if abandoned then it would be like 1000
Where in NJ? If you’re referring to the one in Rahway, that one’s been gone 😔.
And guam 🤌🏽😌
I didn't realize only 3 remain.
The one in New Jersey is closing and the one in New York has a new Red sign now and one in Miami Florida is been downsized
Miami is my final guess
There are only two left on the mainland…… Miami and Long Island
Long Island is an island, so from a certain point of view, it can already be argued the Miami one is the last mainland Kmart.
I wanna travel from the UK to the USA to visit these 3 Kmarts 😆
Two remain. One in Florida and the other in Long island New York
Well we got the answer and the last one left is in Miami
I’m betting one here in Miami
Yep… the people running Kmart and Sears seem to love Florida with it also having the most open Sears in any state 🤦♂️
In October of 2023 there are 2 left because on September 30th 2023 they closed the NJ one
Westwood is down for the count now :(.
If anyone cares, we have a Blue Light Special on socks in the back of the store.
Australia and New Zealand have them everywhere!
The sky is blue
The new York has a new red sign it's no longer blue
There’s a Kmart in Bridgehampton New York that’s not closing Kmart new york is mine
