I've been trying to get some media articles written, about the 2 new, NY closings, and finally we got one. Look who the author cites, as the source for these closings 😉😁😎:

And, the article OP mentioned, seems to be cited as a source, in the Kmart Wikipedia page. My, everything has come full circle!
Still almost no other coverage of Bronx closing. When Astor closed (as someone mentioned below), there was a ton of coverage. Bronx closed (I was there and it's closed except for the pharmacy which closes Tomorrow, Oct. 7), and there is hardly a mention of it online, in NY media.
Guess literally nobody cared about it.
A legend in his own mind lol!
Because he is wonderful. Best retail news journalist ever.
Why does List Man Jack think he’s so wonderful and keep patting himself on the back? I must admit it’s humorous and entertaining though.
Not surprised at all sir. You are an excellent journalist, kudos, man.
OMG! They actually quoted your screen name from the layoff.com!!! This site has accomplished so much and now you are getting quoted. I almost fell over when I saw that in print.
Here's 1 about Massapequa Sears:

Thanks again, man, as always. I’m genuinely surprised though, that more major news outlets in NYC, haven’t picked this up yet. After all, there were 2 Kmarts in Bronx, and 50% of them just closed, so I thought it would be a bigger deal. After all, when Astor Place Kmart closed, there were 100 articles. Granted, Bronx is less famous than Manhattan, but still part of NY City.
List Man Jack! wOOt!
