Thread regarding Sears layoffs

11 Kmarts left now

So I called Hamilton Montana Kmart, at (406) 363-2922, and they confirmed to me they are closing March 6. Please don't take my word for it, y'all are welcome to call and confirm that.

*Few interesting things about this location. It is the last Kmart anywhere on Earth, to NOT be located near an Ocean. (Obviously, this does not include the unrelated Australian Kmarts). The NJ, NY, FL Guam, USVI & PR Kmarts are all relatively close to an Ocean. Also, this is the last stateside Kmart located outside of the Eastern Time Zone. Of course, the territorial stores are located in their respective Time Zones, but all the stateside stores are now only in Eastern Time. Montana was, by far, the lowest population state remaining, with a Kmart. Now that honor goes to NJ, because NY/FL are much more highly populated.

*I'm surprised it took this long. It must not have been Cost effective, to ship warehouse goods to an isolated store with no other stops for the truck to make, nearby.

Anyway, I'm also monitoring the Key West store, because it has "fixture removal" jobs listed. I haven't been able to confirm it yet, but if I do, then I will further modify this list. But for now,

We are now at 11 Kmarts total, 5 of which are in the US. I have changed my map to reflect this as well:

FLORIDA

  1. KEY WEST
  2. MIAMI

NEW JERSEY

  1. AVENEL
  2. WESTWOOD

Statistics: Kmart absent in 47 states. Now we have 1 state,5 NY, with only 1. There are 6 Kmarts within the proper United "States", total. Of those in the US, zero, have a pharmacy. There are 4 pharmacies in the territories, marked with letter "P".
Additionally, Puerto Rico has 1 Kmart, USVI has 4, Guam has 1, so there are 6 total stores outside of the U.S. mainland. Total of 11 Kmarts left as of now that are not closed or closing.

@1cre+1eJDsG59 I mean, maybe. I think they just broke the site rules though. Who knows.

Anyone who's directly worked for Eddie in the last 20 years has been about "profit prevention"

Have you noticed how many posts have been deleted recently? Loss Prevention associates are watching this site like hawks and reporting slander for removal. I suspect this post will be deleted as well.

Sorry for the quick turnaround, but I just called Key West and they informed me that they are closing next Week (which would probably imply no liquidation, unless they already had liquidation sales going the last few Weeks that we didn't Know about).

Anyway, be that as it May, bottom line is that Kmart Key West is closing next Week.

I confirmed this at 305-293-9211.

We are now at 10 Kmarts total, 4 of which are in the US. I have changed my map to reflect this as well:

This is how my conversation went:

Thank you for calling Kmart, how may I help you?

When are you closing?

We close tonight at 7 PM.

And not reopening?

We open at 9 AM tomorrow.

Okay, thank you, bye.

Thank you for calling, goodbye.

Slight typo. Sentence should have read: "Now we have 1 state, NY, with only 1. There are 6 Kmarts within the proper United "States", total."

Not sure where that # "5" came from.

There are also “temporary” cashiers and fixture removals listed for Key West, FL as well.

Still not on SB360's website. It might be on there Tomorrow, or perhaps, maybe they sold it to a different liquidation company? I don't Know.
