ReplyDeleteWOW! A Kmart still in Texas! Crazy.
ReplyDeleteThe last Kmart in Texas, in McAllen closed in March-April 2020...
DeleteEven though that Kmart has been de-grocerized, it's still a great store and has a great amount of shoppers for it being a regular Kmart store! The Little Caesars Pizza Station is great and I have confirmed that this Kmart has now received new shopping carts and well as new red and white shopping lights for the registers!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the first Super Kmart ( Medina, Ohio ) will no longer be a Super Kmart...
ReplyDeleteKmarts are spread in FOUR areas in Texas, West Texas (Lubbock,Sweetwater,Abilene,El Paso), East Texas (Lufkin, Nacadoches, Texarkana and Longview), South Texas (Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo) and Central Texas in Killeen! 18 Kmart stores are currently operational in Texas (less than NM) sadly!
ReplyDeletewhy did Kmart close most TExas stores?
ReplyDeleteI helped open the very first Kmart in the Lubbock, Tx. area in 1970. We had to delay the Grand Opening because of the tornado of May 11, 1970. I enjoyed the people of Lubbock and still have fond memories of that Kmart and the time there. After working all over the U.S. I am retired in Huntsville TX.
ReplyDeleteNeat, when did the first Lubbock Kmart closed and what was it's address?
DeleteI was hired before Super KMART opened in Lubbock. I recall that I worked as a cashier for a short time. I think it either in 1994 or in 1995. KMART provided me first hand knowledge of seeing a major brand change over to a new brand.
