  • Statistics: Kmart absent in 31 states. 11 states, CO, IL, MI, MN, MT, NH, NC, ND, NV, TX, WA, have only 1 each. MA, MD, NM have 2 each. 45 Kmarts in US States total. Of those in the US, 16, marked with letter "P", have pharmacies.
    The 6 mainland locations with letter "O" are owned by Seritage (according to their website), as opposed to the others which are leased. I did not bother researching the ownership status of the locations outside the mainland.
    Speaking of which, Puerto Rico has 7 Kmarts, USVI has 4, Guam has 1, so 12 total stores outside of the US. 57 total Kmarts left as of now that are not closed or closing.
    States with more than 2 Kmarts:
    CA: 9
    FL: 4
    NJ: 5
    NY: 6
    PA: 4

I wasn't asking for the store to be removed from the list. I was stating that we were told a church had bought the Ramona kmart property and was passing that info along. I really don't care whether you believe me or not. That's what we were told. This whole website is just for that. If we all had real links and evidence, this wouldn't be an anonymous site to post things.

Is there an accurate list of Sears locations?

Post ID: @5cwz+12UyR7Dz

@12UyR7Dz-4tou Then, for the purpose of my fact-based Kmart list, that information means nothing. My list is based on link-proven facts, not rumors or innuendo. Every store that I have listed on here, is a Kmart that has not yet been announced as closing.
Any rumor about a Kmart store, is about as meaningful to me, as a rumor that I Won the Powerball would be to a convenience store clerk, without me presenting THE TICKET as evidence. He would (rightfully) Say "Cool story bro., now let's see The Ticket". As I have stated since I first started this list back in 2019, "links or it didn't happen".
When I see a link for proof, I will remove a store from my master Kmart list, but not before that.
If I had 1 Penny for every "rumor" I saw on here, I'd be Richer than I already am, LOL. I search for facts, that can be proven, only.
Take care!

Information from another tenant in the center being told to the store. If we had links or evidence it wouldn't be a rumor.

@ccm Thank you buddy!

@lbh Believe me, I want to do the Sears list too, but as I explained in previous lists/threads, the reason I can't seem to figure out Sears, is that their website lists many different kinds of Sears stores: Sears hardware, Sears appliance, Sears Home life, Sears Hometown, and I don't Know how many other kinds. I am not Knowledgeable enough to Know the difference, and which ones I should count or not. At least with a Kmart, it is cut and dry: either it's a Kmart or it isn't. With Sears, the lines are somewhat murky so that's why I haven't been able to concoct a good list. Maybe someone with More Knowledge could do that?
But I will definitely stay on this Kmart list till the end, trust me! :)

HBA is the short hand for “Health and Beauty Aids” very common term in retail (not just Kmart)

I hope the locations that aren't anywhere near any other stores will be the next ones to close if they don't close them all in one sweep. Why the stores in places like Hamilton, Minot, McAllen, and Marshall are still open is beyond me.

What is really bizarre is that some media outlets are still calling each new closing part of "right sizing". When you get down to 45 stores, with more closings to come, the only right size is exactly zero stores.

Oh, my god, stop these asinine lists already! At this point 99% of the country has lost Kmart, it's long gone from over 300 metropolitan communities that it's stupid to keep posting the handful that remain

As terrible it is to say this- if any Kmarts got damaged in the Puerto Rico quakes, they will probably just be abandoned.

what is HBA?

Post ID: @jdb+12UyR7Dz

The Kmart inside the Brooklyn Sears only carries HBA, grocery pantry, chemical pantry, some seasonal and pet supplies.

Theres also one Kmart in Puerto Rico at 12,000 sf with limited departments.

Excellent work. If you could make a similar list for FL Sears stores, that would be great.

It's actually 58 Kmarts since the one in Brooklyn (inside Sears) continues to be omitted on this list.
