Thread regarding Sears layoffs

3 remaining Kmart list. Also links for Kmart & Sears closing

Whittier Sears and Lockhart Kmart closing (links included).

Wow, so about 2 Years ago, I posted what I thought would be my last Kmart list. The reason for that, is it appeared that there would be no more Kmart closings. Then I posted what I thought was the last one when Bridgehampton closed, but I guess I was wrong, and so, my services are needed again. Glad to help! Of course, I would never post a closing without verification, because I'm a journalist, who has NEVER had to retract a closing even once.

Honestly, this really needed to happen. I have no idea why they opened up the 2 stores on St. Thomas, only 2 miles apart from each other. So the one in Lockhart Gardens is closing. For the record, this closing store is the St. Thomas location WITHOUT the pharmacy, so the last remaining Kmart pharmacy, in St. Thomas, will still exist for at least a while, it seems. Guam has a pharmacy, but it's not Kmart branded (as it's just leased).

So, long story short.......

3 non-closing Kmarts, List

We are now at 3 Kmarts total, and ONLY 1 of which is in the mainland. I have changed my map to reflect this as well:

FLORIDA

  1. MIAMI

(Tha..tha...that's all folks!😉😉)

TERRITORIES:

GUAM

  1. TAMUNING, GU (This location has an independently branded pharmacy that just leases the place).

USVI

  1. ST. THOMAS -P (The only Kmart branded pharmacy on Earth).

Statistics: Kmart is absent in 49 states. Now we have only 1 state, Florida, with a Kmart. This is the only Kmart within the continental United States, full stop.
There are now zero states or territories, that have multiple Kmarts.

In the territories, USVI has 1, Guam has 1, so there are 2 total stores outside of the U.S. mainland. There are 2 pharmacies in the territories, but only 1 is Kmart branded, and thus marked with letter "P" (1 in USVI). Total of 3 Kmarts left as of now that are not closed or closing.

Your buddy, Jack, respectfully signing off. Bye now!

I take back the second part of my immediately-below, comment. Now I see Sears Whittier, as well as St. Thomas Kmart, listed on SB360. It appears the St. Croix store was removed, so I'm guessing that 1 has closed.

@pw+1jz167shz I am aware. I never Said that the St. Croix store DIDN'T have it. I was simply referring to the 2 remaining go-forward stores, that will continue having LC's, at least for now. There are 3 non-closing Kmarts, and 2/3 of them have LC's.
St. Croix will have zero Kmarts in about 1 Month so that's only of historical interest at this point.

@p8+1jz167shz I noticed that too. Both Whittier and St. Thomas' stores were listed there Yesterday but suddenly disappeared. Not sure why. Maybe they suddenly closed? I guess I can try calling there to find out.

Why was the Whittier Sears listing taken down from SB360? Did they just shut it down immediately?

Interestingly, if anyone cares, the 2 remaining territorial stores each have their own websites. They both also have Little Caesars restaurants (Talk about a throwback).

https://kmart-vi.com/visit-us/

https://kmart-guam.com/

These websites seem to be independent of the (still existing) regular, www.kmart.com page

Oh I forgot the map. Color coded as always. Blue denotes stateside Kmart, while green is a territorial store with a pharmacy inside.

7 Sears not closing. 2 each in CA, FL, then 1 each in MA, TX, PR.

Sb360 now lists the Whittier store. They are also doing Rite Aids, if anyone cares about that:
