I live in Bridgeview! I went there until it closed

[@raulsanchez9795]

I went to my first kmart and remember it was an eerie feeling.

[@Peteeboy2011]

Everyone of these old Kmart vids I swear I can smell that weird scent. Every store had that odor.

[@duramaxrs5069]

I know right! I miss the smell of fresh popcorn.

The only way Kmart(and Sears) would have survived longer would have been for Edward Lampert to have never gone near either of them.

[@tyeralexander7346]

It's not all his fault, he tried to keep it going by buying the company out of bankruptcy and there some stores left in 2024

[@tyeralexander7346]

Eddie bought it out of bankruptcy in 2019

[@tyeralexander7346]

There two store left in the us one in Miami Florida and bridgeHampton new York and one in Guam and saints Croix and two in Saint Thomas vergin islands

[@tyeralexander7346]

Kmart couldn't compete with Walmart and target

[@AEvans36977]

50 years, not 50 decades. Maybe you meant 5 decades.

[@duramaxrs5069]
