This Kmart is a former Super Kmart location at 1302 Bridford Parkway in Greensboro, North Carolina in the Landmark Crossing shopping center. The Super Kmart store was a 1994 Grounds Up build. The store was converted from a Super Kmart store in 2009 and is 173,925 square feet. This Kmart has a Sears Outlet store located in the former grocery section of Super Kmart and a Kmart Express gas station. At one time this store had a Kmart Auto Center. In this store's early days it had a Kmart Cafe. This Kmart Cafe was later changed to a Little Caesar's Pizza Station. This Kmart lost the Little Caesar's restaurant when the grocery section was removed. The Greensboro Ollie's bargain Outlet that I also have a post on is in this same Shopping center.

It is so sad and even painful to see Kmart/Sears flounder around like this considering what they once were. I almost want them put out of their misery but I have too many fond memories of shopping at both.
ReplyDeleteIt's only one of two another plain KMart Ring Road but is demolished
ReplyDeletewow. I LIKE SEARS, BUT GO OUT TO SAN ANTONIO'S.
ReplyDeleteVisited this store today-Closing in November of 2014. Already in closeout, most items are 20-30% off (some clothes 45%). Most departments already very thin. Sad, this is the most people I've seen in this store at once in literally 10+ years.
ReplyDeleteVisited the store again on 10/6. Less than half of the sales floor is occupied. The entire back section of aisles (against the back wall) are gone - most are empty, nearly 1/4 have been removed. Fixtures and store office supplies are for sale. Sad-many of the fixture are quite old and beat to hell, and some are even marked damaged (including two garment racks from softlines priced at $10 each. All aisles in the old health and beauty section are empty, the last few items are now shelved in seasonal.
DeleteWent to vising the store on 10/20, it had already closed. Sales floor was completely empty and all signs were gone.
ReplyDeleteThis old Kmart store in Greensboro has now been converted into a Gabe's store which means that all Kmart-related stuff in Greensboro is no longer relevant and all Kmart references have been removed.
