This Sunday, October 20th, the Kmart in Bridgehampton, New York—the last full-size Kmart store in the continental U.S.—closed forever.

Bridgehampton is in the iconic Hamptons, on the eastern part of Lond Island, New York. After this Sunday, only one small-format store will remain in Miami. There are also well-performing Kmart stores in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

With K Cafe luncheonettes and Bluelight Specials long gone, Kmart itself has become a relic of the past.

The last time the company made a profit was in 2010.

We had such great times at Kmart.

Kmart's heyday was in the 1970s and 1980s. There was something magical about Christmas shopping at Kmart.

 

Do You Remember Kmart Stores here in Washington?

The first Washington K-Mart location opened in Spokane in the late summer of 1966. The franchise had a great run until the early 2000s, when locations slowly began to close. The final Washington K-Mart closed in Burlington (Skagit County) in 2020.
