Grand Union opened its West Chester Grandway in October 1968. It closed in 1979, and was quickly converted to a Kmart, opening on November 15, 1979. Kmart was expanded in mid-1995, and was given the "orange" remodel in the mid-2000s, adding an internet cafe, rearranging departments, and installing new departmental signage. Ultimately, it was announced for closure in August 2019, closing on December 8, 2019, as not only the last Kmart in Chester County, but the last in the entire Greater Philadelphia region.



Hello! Welcome to- oh, wait, this one's closed too?
