It's the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears, nothing more. There are many departments of Brooklyn Sears, including the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears, among many others.

But in your examples, the li---r store, the pharmacy, or commissioned departments like the hunting department, or Mens Suits in a JCPenney, are all under the same name as the store.

This is a separate store name, Kmart, with a separate store number.

My local Target has a Starbucks inside. Guess what? It's an actual Starbucks, owned and operated by Starbucks workers and has a separate store number. No, you can't purchase Target merchandise at that Starbucks.

The Brooklyn Kmart is an actual Kmart.

Not a Kmart department, it’s a Kmart store, Di-kie dingus!

*typo, I meant grocery below, not frocery

That's an easy one. Your STARBUCKS, RENTS out the SPACE FROM TARGET. Target doesn't have anything to do with it other than Renting out the area to them. The Kmart is a department of Sears, which is owned by Ed Lampert, along with every other department of Sears. Eddie owns the entire store, including the Kmart department. It is not merely Renting Space, like your STARBUCKS example, from Target.
The Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears, is just one of many departments of Brooklyn Sears. The 8000 sq. ft. DEPARTMENT does not have its own separate store manager. Store managers typically make over $100 G per Year. They are not going to Pay $100 Grand for someone to "manage" 2 aisles of toothpaste and shampoo. Get real. The entire Brooklyn Sears (including the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears) is overseen by the Brooklyn Sears store manager. Call them to confirm this. The Kmart DEPARTMENT has a DEPARTMENT manager (Hourly) but not its own Salaried store manager, because it's a department, not a store.
The receipts state "Kmart" but that is just short for "Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears". As someone states, the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears, is a de facto HBA department, that most Sears don't have, so people can get shampoo/toothbrushes in the same place they buy refrigerators/power tools. It's like Menards hardware store (a midwest chain similar to Lowes) sells some grocery items as a novelty, but nobody calls it a separate grocery store. It's just the frocery department of Menards, just like this is the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears.
Also, call the USVI Kmarts. 2 of them STILL have Little Caesars that are operating. This list is wrong.

@2hul+1b02tgwo But it is NOT a separate entity. It is a department of the store, and it is owned by the same person (Edward Lampert) as the rest of the store. It is no different from the pharmacy department of my grocery store (or the sports department of the hardware store, etc.). The argument someone made (below and on other threads), was that purchases from Kmart "department of Brooklyn Sears" can't be rung up in other departments of "Brooklyn Sears". Same with my grocery store concept. For example, pharmacy items, Or Liqu0r Items, must be rung up in those departments, not in other departments. Exactly the same concept. It is simply the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears, one of the many departments of Brooklyn Sears, like hardware, shoes, etc.. It's a 8000 square foot, de facto HBA department basically, which other regular Sears typically don't have, that they stuck in 1 tiny corner of the basement so their customers can buy shampoo in the same building as they buy power tools. Really not that deep.

That link means absolutely nothing. It's a google result, not an official Transformco owned page. Google results are often incorrect (and even if this was correct, it's referring merely to the Kmart department of the Sears store). If I go to Kmart.com, and store locator for NY state, there is NO Kmart in Brooklyn. It is however, listed on Sears.com, meaning it's a Sears not a Kmart.

No matter how many times they say it isn't, never changes the fact that it is

@2hul+1b02tgwo Ah, but it is NOT a separate entity. It is a department of the store, and it is owned by the same person (Edward Lampert) as the rest of the store. It is no different from the pharmacy department of my grocery store (or the sports department of the hardware store, etc.).

@1hwd The difference is the pharmacy inside your grocery store might be the same entity as your grocery store, whereas the Kmart in Brooklyn is a separate entity than the Sears Roebuck.

@1fpc+1b02tgwo Excellent point. Put differently, over 99% have closed! The remaining 1% will soon follow.

Not sure how the sales were for the Kmart department of Brooklyn Sears, or for the rest of Brooklyn Sears, for that matter.

How have the sales been performing at the Brooklyn Kmart lately?

Random observation, but if you divide 20 or 21 by 2,323 , that's literally less than .01, so less than 1% of the stores Kmart had its peak are still open. Kind of crazy to think about.

Lots of corporate entities notify various things on Sundays. Heck, most businesses filing for bankruptcy do it on a Sunday, before the new work week and before the stock markets open for the week. Also, all the remaining Little Caesars in the USVI stores are no longer operating (probably why they're not on the list above), and there's no such thing as a Kmart "being a department of Sears." That's laughable. The Brooklyn Kmart has it's own store number. It's an actual Kmart. If it wasn't, then the receipts would print out "SEARS."

Since Jack UPVOTES his own posts numerous times... seems right.

But in your examples, the li---r store, the pharmacy, or commissioned departments like the hunting department, or Mens Suits in a JCPenney, are all under the same name as the store.

This is a separate store name, Kmart, with a separate store number.

The Brooklyn Kmart is an actual Kmart.

And my grocery store cannot ring up purchases from either their Li---r Or pharmacy departments. Yet those departments are not considered separate "stores". Instead they are considered departments OF the main store. I have been to Runnings (a hardware store) where Hunting supplies must be Paid for in the sports department. This does not elevate Said "department" to its own store. In my town, there is sort of a hardware store which has a small automotive department where they do some minor car repairs etc.. For whatever reason, they require anything automotive related to be Paid for in their auto department. This does not elevate Said department to its own store. There are countless examples of this phenomenon.

The Brooklyn Sears cannot ring up anything from that Kmart department, as you put it. Recheck your facts.

Corporate doesn't notify anybody on Sundays. You only Know Marshall LC closed because we, the users on this site, informed you about that on the previous incorrect list. And this wrong list is missing LCs from USVI. Also Brooklyn is not Kmart, instead it is merely a department of Sears. Pharmacy status missing as well. All wrong.

Jack UPVOTES his own incorrect postings numerous times as well... so yep, seems right.

Might as well... everyone's downvoting yours based on your "lusts." LMFAO

Yep, and Jack had to downvote your comment numerous times LMAO!

I agree:

South Lake Tahoe, Westwood and the Brooklyn Kmarts are my favorites! Great job!

@tgc+1b02tgwo Ya right. No you didn't eat "there" because Hamilton MONTANA never had a Little Caesars, dingus! Why are you mentioning Hamilton? It was not mentioned anywhere in this thread.

Is kmart closing in Marshall, MI?

Sorry to hear that the Little Caesars in Hamilton shut down...Just ate there not too long ago. Thanks for the update... your list is the most trustworthy (and correct) list out there. Keep us in the loop, please!
