- Abandoned Kmart Weirton, WV. This store has been a solid anchor in this shopping area for decades. It finally closed its doors earlier this year. Doesn't help a Wal-Mart built less than a quarter mile away took plenty of the Kmart's business.
I wasn’t sure the store was closed. Thank goodness the recording was there to confirm it.
For some reason I really want to go to Kmart during normal business hours.
The announcement said "please come back during normal business hours". When are normal business hours if they're closed?
I called the number just for the heck of it and it is disconnected. We will never know when normal business hours are...
That recording has apparently always been there even before this location permanently closed.

Dude I saw you filming. I was on my way to Kroger’s😂
DIY GIRLS398 hahahaha awesome!
I went into Krogers when I was done. I had to pick up a 12 pack of Pibb! We don't have Pibb in Pittsburgh. Lol
Lol
“Please come back during normal business hours”.YOUR CLOSED 24/7
I live in Weirton and it's sad to see Kmart go 😢 I loved going there and that's where I got my kids their Christmas Presents
*Thank You For Visiting K Mart, Please Come Back During Normal Business Hours*
I live in weirton. Sooooo tempted to see if the recording still plays lmao
Update: it doesnt...but a front door cover fell down and you can see inside!!!
How can you come back during normal business hours when its closed for good?
They Moved to the Backrooms lmao
It almost looks like the thing at 9:20 to 9:30 was a trash incinerator, based off of the tall smokestack. If I had to guess, that little door on the outside is to empty out the ash and whatever else remained after they burnt up the trash and the part attached to the building was where trash was loaded in.
Hi Wallie, thanks for the Video, great job as always!!
Hey WallieB. I am a big fan of your channel and your down to earth delivery. Best of luck and keep 'em coming!
I was here during the closing sale. That Kmart actually had good deals. I got a TON of Bears gear (hell of a find might I say) and two carts full for like $80.
So sad to see another one close though
I haven't seen this video since 2018, and I'm glad I'm watching it again 😊
Come to barboursville ,wv there is an abandoned Hooters and a Kmart that is doing decent business.
Maddie Ziegler is that really u
JOJO SIWA FAN no its not her
that recording is hilarious, I've never one at a kmart, especially one outta business
Pretty funny that the speaker kept blaring at you!
I grew up in Weirton this video makes me sad.
That thing on the ground is a guide for centering what I assume is a dumpster that would be pulled up to it.
That KMart definitely had an auto service center at one time. The garage doors were identical to a local one here. I predict all Sears and Kmarts will be history during the first quarter of 2018.
Sears Canada is almost gone.
the business barely stands as of now it wouldnt be surprised
Heh, they need one of those "This entrance is currently closed. Please use the main entrance." things at the Price Chopper supermarket on Eastern Parkway in Schenectady, NY, since the pharmacy/side entrance closes at 7pm (store's 24 hours but only the main entrance is open 24 hours)

Have you checked out the former Mountaineer Mall in Morgantown, WV it is pretty interesting. It’s still in good shape and you can walk around it. There is a telemarking business that’s inside. It is a great place for “mall walkers”
Well nice you visited Kmarts in Weirton, I have memories of that store even when I was a kid. Yea, it would have been cool to see them stay open. If you didn't find something at Walmarts you could go there and most of the time find what your looking for. I work at that Walmart in Weirton, and some of the managers that worked at Kmart are now working with Walmart. Anyways wouldn't attempt to try and get in there, don't know but a few times I heard the alarm go off in the building, and police were there. Most the time I heard it was early in the morning. I would go the atm machine at the top part of the parking lot to get money, and then go to McDonald's which is across from the atm. Anyways very nice video you did, and hopefully something will go into that place, but don't know what!
Aw, these guys never got their big pantry reset. Couple of years ago a bunch of guys from this store came to help us turn all the shelves in our pantry aisle sideways and I was in charge of the daytime operations of that project. They were one of the best group of guys you could ask for for a large scale reset. I remember them telling me about those recording things to tell customers to come back during normal business hours. They thought it was weird that we didn’t have anything like that. Also their layaway button broke so they had a doorbell that rang up front at the service desk and they would call someone. Once they were done helping with our reset I told them I wanted to help with theirs and they were going to pay me to work up there for a week to do that, and they were scheduled to have it be done, but then they closed. Guess they didn’t like the reset anyway considering a week before we were announced to be closing they wanted us to flip everything back. We didn’t finish that as you know ;)
Also the person who made the quilt out of Kmart shirts was from this store, as they told me at Super K
Hello.
I was just wondering if you have been to the kmart in Fenton Michigan before it closed back in 2016? It is no longer there now..
No, I'm sorry. I was never at that location.
Thank you for writing back.
Our Kmart closed in 2016 . It was closed for almost 1 and a half to 2 years. It was decided up into 5 or 6 stores. T.j.max, Michael's, Oshkosh, 5below sketches shoes outlet.
I enjoy watching you videos. So sad to see the empty stores. Scarier to see what crap holes and dumps some of them have become.
Have a great day.
It was always a trill to go into an unfamiliar Kmart we hardly knew ye.
Come to austintown!
Cedar Flags I did! I filmed that Kmart a few weeks ago and will be uploading that video in the next couple of days!
The tall rusted steel thing behind the store is an incinerator, used to burn boxes, the tall tube like object is a smoke stack. Year ago most if not all huge stores had incinerators.
T.J. Roble I thought it was a boiler
I pretty sure it is an incinerator, I seen a grocery store chain had them to burn boxes years ago.
all the garage doors used to be Kmart Penske service center they replaced Tire oil changes brake jobs. the Kmart store in Weirton which is my hometown was there when I was a kid in the 80s I believe that the Kmart open up a stores between the 1960s and 70s
Come to Barboursville WV there about to close up
Hey you should come to Canada in my town you can find a old target that is now a liquidation store.
Away from the video, nice Steelers hat you have there. :))
That's hilarious they bothered to do a motion detector on the front of the store, repeated the message forever that it's currently closed! More like it's closed forever, now. So Sears Holdings wasted TONS of money, installing that motion detector.
what up wallie this is josh well i was working at east stroudsburg kmart about six years and two months and i stated at 05/05/2011 to 07/26/2017 that year my last day of work that year and i was stocker and unload the trucks and push the shopping carts as well!
I've been here. I have family in the wheeling/weirton area.
That stack was a box carton burner. the other was for a large compactor dumpster.
There is an abandoned Kmart in Berks County, Pennsylvania. It closed around July 2016.
So sad to keep seeing these goes. Just hope the place I started at is going to stay up! Lots of customers and profit.
If you want to there is a K-Mart in Oak Hill, WV that has been closed since maybe 2012. There is also the one in Beckley that is set to close later this month. Hard to tell what will go in there.
Another week, another dead K-Mart.
Opened in 1975
This k-mart closed in the Spring
that mens there still some power going to the building
i know where that is it only closed a few years ago i miss it :(
Rumor has it that Big Lots was supposed to have been opened at this location in 2018, but the landlord (Blight-Lord) gave Big Lots a hard time so they pulled out. Just like the old Big Lots location at the Weirton Shopping Plaza. Been about 15 years now.... And it's STILL EMPTY.
There's a Big Lots and a Aldi's
Not sure if anyone will see this but the K-Mart is now being torn down and being replaced with an Aldi's and Big Lots
that recording thing is a first for a kmart
I think this was originally a WT Grant’s.
Now it's a Big Lots and Aldi
Those garage doors make me think that at one time, there could have been an auto center in that Kmart. I don't know - the one in Wooster (closed Sept. 3) didn't have one.
Kevin Baker Yes, there was an Auto Service Center on the side.
11:05 pretty much
That deal on the ground to help line up the trash compactor
They should turn all the abandoned Kmart stores into giant haunted houses, then giant north pole workshops, make seasonal use of the buildings.
Come to Riverside
I abandoned Weirton in '79....
I'd of taken the recorder >:)
Our Kmart is closing it had signs that said all sales final so I bought a bunch of stuff and some gray Everlast knee length shorts anyway when I tried them on at home the back of them was low and I couldn't even wedge my ass in I got in half my ass lol I've still got the receipt and I'm gonna try to exchange them before it's to late.
When did truck driver back to trash compactor up at Lions it up with the outlet of the trash compactor
I love this video
Take the cart for ur collection. Remember "It is only gonna get Destroyed"... :)
your*
There is a abandoned meijer near me, I hope it hasn’t been demolished yet.. by the way the value city was a fail... half of it is a car lot and drive testing place in a very bad area
Am pretty sure they will use that empty parking lot for some events and maybe use it to rent parking spaces. Am surprised was there no police or security driving or hiding around there usually when a building is vacant like a commercial retail building There's police or security driving around making sure no one causes trouble.
I think this on 250 Three Springs Drive Exit 5 Turn right and the Kroger is in the back of the plaza. Is the Ponderosa still there I used to shop here when I went to Kroger.
Chris Lemaster the ponderosa closed and was torn down. A Taco Bell is there now.
Thanks Jacob Did they tear down the old Wal-Mart across the street?
They actually recently started converting that into a strip mall, they built several new store fronts in what was the parking lot and also converted the way mart into store fronts.
This is the Sears holdings CEO, his decisions have been lately to close a majority of Kmart stores vs Sears bc he owns
Majority stock in Sears and would rather try and save the real dying chain! Keep in mind it was KMART who through their CEO purchased Sears! Sears did NOT buy Kmart! And with the CEO selling off the Sears craftsman line to black& decker
And licensing out the Kenmore line, Sears has nothing! KMART still has their licensed brands or at at least a couple left!and @wallyb26 glad to hear you'd rather be in a Kmart than a Walmart!
4:49
Kcart
Come to dayton,ohio in Trotwood there's abandoned Best Buy, TNT Fashions, and other abandoned stores.

Thanks for visiting Kmart we are currently out of business please visit Kmart.com for other Kmart locations thank you. Thanks for visiting Kmart we are currently out of business please visit Kmart.com for other Kmart locations thank you. LOL they say they're closed but we all know they're out of business.

Hey wallie can you come to philly I know it's a long drive please
Karlee Smile 2 I agree - especially since we've got 2 liquidating kmarts in our area at the moment! I actually stopped by the closing Kmart in Allentown this past week and am hoping to make it to the one in Willow Grove before that one closes too!
Trekkie101GC I Live right next to the Willowgrove one
Where the dunkin is now use to be a Pizza Hut.
I'm guessing that around back is an incinerator.
I thought it'd be a natural gas boiler for the HVAC system, but the incinerator idea is probably more likely
Why do you keep trying to get Inside? You know these places are private property
AMERICA CLOSED FOR BUSINESS or we do all our shopping on line sure, right....
The Kmart near my church is abandoned to. It was next to my church in Liverpool New York. I was away from church for 3 weeks because I was moving and came back to church and no more Kmart it went out summer 2017 June started to go and gone buy September. So sad to see my Kmart go. The very last hanging on for dear life Kmart in upstate New York is mattydale New York. No Garden center there in that one because it's in a strip mall like Liverpool was but a pharmacy(still open) and Kmart pizza place (that is no longer there. )what are we here in upstate New York going to do now one Kmart left in all of the state. Wen they close that's it. My basket ball program wants to take over the Liverpool store and turn it in to a gym don't know if it will happen but I hope so. We are full to the max with kids every year and Kmart would help us a lot. We desperately need more space asap.
Here is one for you to explore Wallie: czcams.com/video/PapTEa-Eu0s/video.html
MMM No thank you. How rude. I would't sop there again. Good job WallieB26. Keep up the good work. Post umber 1..........
