Kmart #3810 - Willow Street, PA (December 2020 Update)

Happy Holidays!
Here's our special Holiday post!

Today we make a return visit to the Willow Street Kmart. This store (as started in my last post) opened in 1991 and is now closing (along with the store in Kingston), leaving Pennsylvania without a single Kmart store.

Note: When I returned on Christmas Eve, the store was the busiest I have ever seen a Kmart in a while.

Kmart #7470 - Hummelstown, PA (November 2020 Update)

The renovation for TJ Maxx has begun. Kmart's façade has been removed, which surprises me because it was a modern-looking façade.

Kmart #3963 - Elizabethtown, PA (ONE YEAR LATER)

It's hard to believe it, but it's been a whole year since the permanent closure of the Elizabethtown Kmart. Here are some pictures from my most recent visit (November 22). This was always a really nice store and it was a shame to see it go. It also had an updated Little Caesars Pizza Station and a drive-thru pharmacy.
As indicated by the property brochure, the building will likely be subdivided into three spaces in the future.

While the remodel this store received was considered "orange", this store received more colors than the normal black, orange, and tan.
