They need somewhere to park their trucks until they're taken to auction .
Way to come through . But what an eyesore
@yib Kmarts were almost entirely leased, AFAIK. They weren't into owning their own property like Sears used to be. So it's probably still a lease to the new tenant.
U-Haul will make more money using them as storage units than Eddie ever did
The Kahului Maui K-Mart was sold and now operating as a U-Haul operation.
The Westland, Micgigan Kmart closed last year and is now home to UHaul.. Lovely sight... Ugh
This location would have made a great Kroger or Hobby Lobby instead of a UHaul
Don't know if the purchased property or are leasing though
Also, the other 3 kmarts close by, garden city, Livonia and Plymouth still sit cold and vacant with the parking lots lit up brighter now than when there were shoppers
