Wow, Didn't think there were any Kmarts left in existence! And there was actually merchandise and stocked!

Yea, this is one of the biggest stories still grasping to life in the dead and dying retail scene. The store looked nice, but the brand is just too far gone. And this location so far out on Long Island is certainly not a great choice to have as part of the last stand.😢 No one wants to drive this far to see the store. If they could have chosen a few stores to keep in cities like Orlando, Charlotte, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas…. Any major city that people actually travel to year round… not Long Island. And the location in Miami is basically a Mini-Kmart using only the garden center area and a few aisles of the entire building.

Yeah I was surprised to see the whole place stocked with merchandise, who knows when this location will close. That will be the last Kmart I will be stepping inside to, pretty sad tbh

Sweet video TD3. I plan on visiting this store at some point in time. I have to say at least there were a few customers in the store with you. It's honestly a shame that this brand had to go down hill. Thanks for the info. I never knew that this was once our favorite store Caldor back in the day. Take care and have a nice weekend.

Nice. It’s one of 2 of the last Kmarts in existence. The NJ one closed recently… hopefully I get to see one of them before they all close..

Nice video of the walkthrough. I'm from Richmond, Virginia and traveling up to this Kmart for the first time in the future (if said store location be around) will be more costly than the merchandise prices. What I mean is the numerous NJ/NY toll roads ranging between $9-$20 each way. Seeing it's the Hamptons and the wealthy people (which I'm not against) is known to live in that neck of the woods, the area's Kmart strategy is banking on those people. By looking at Google maps from a few months ago, to my knowledge, I don't believe there's a Walmart within miles so Kmart is running unopposed.

Oh yeah definitely it would cost more to get there lol. Thankfully I have EZPass, so I don't have to pay cash/change for tolls

Wow! It looks like that Kmart is completely deserted. Where is everyone? You're definitely right that this Kmart is quite far from Jersey, but I'd say it's probably a shorter drive compared to the abandoned Ames in Horseheads, NY.

Yeah, it’s a lil bit of a shorter drive than Horseheads, NY. I’m not really surprised they don’t have many customers cause as you know, Kmart is dying a slow death and it’s pretty much non relevant at this point. Pretty sad to believe a company that used to have over 1k stores now down to only 2, the other one is in Miami, FL

I remember the sign outside was blue. Let's play count the customers. The only one besides that one is in Miami. It took over the garden center smallest Kmart.

I am beyond baffled as to why this location out of all the locations they closed is still open… out so far from any major network of intersecting major highways. The logistics of stocking this one location has to be an absolute loss day after day. We all know the story and what happened and Fast Eddie and blah, blah, blah…. But if this moron company would have just condensed down to maybe 20 stores in one highly populated region of the country with a good network of roads connecting major cities and higher than average household incomes, this brand could have easily been saved and rebounded. We all love this company and miss the good days, but it’s enough already… it will never be the same and this is like watching a seriously wounded animal suffer.

Eddie Bozo Lampert didn’t give a shit about anybody else but himself, narcissist. Hope he loses all his money one day and I could care less. Kmart and Sears were main retail staples for such a long time and this guy ruined both of the companies, I’m gonna miss both of them :(
