Kmart Forever

If you're interested in the history of this Kmart, please read about it here . The purpose of this post is to showcase what remains from Kmart #4373 in At Home #184. These exterior blocks of stone were added in the 1993 remodel of this Kmart. Kmart's circular poles remain throughout the store, although without the grey stripe across the bottom. At Home's restrooms, this would have been where the garden shop doors were at Kmart. Looking into the main salesfloor, there aren't any actual remains of Kmart here, but this image gives a decent perspective of the store's layout Marks left from Kmart's tile flooring And we're sure this isn't still a Kmart? 😂 Heading back outside, we find ourselves at the former garden shop. And to wrap things up, here's the former Penske auto center... vacant since 2003.
