Kmart #4840 - Reading, PA

Today we have another '90's Kmart store, this time in Reading, Pennsylvania. The original Reading Kmart opened in 1976 and was located in the former W. T. Grant store at 3215 Fifth Street Highway. In 1992, the store was relocated to a new location at 3045 Fifth Street Highway. The replacement store was relatively large at approx. 100,000 sq. feet. The store closed in 2016 and was oddly repainted gray recently.
