- Inside A Creepy Abandoned Kmart In PA. Opened in 1982 and closed in 2000, this Kmart has literally just been left to rot. Sitting in a town where there are a few other abandoned structures such as the abandoned Ames and ACME stores right up the street, these places just decay and become more prone to vandalism. If you come here to explore this Kmart, do so at your own risk. And please... just take photos, video, or just explore and leave. Please do not vandalize. Be respectful and be careful. This place is not safe.

One of the reasons I'm a big fan of your channel is your respect to other people's property. The world is in desperate need of more people like you!
Imagine all the generations of homeless people living in this K-mart. From a huge shopping center to an abandoned moldy place slowly rotting away
Holy shit, just abandoned like that for almost 20 years... that’s wild
Its creepy
thats sad
@@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens i agree.
as someone who grew up on this town, always seeing this on our ride to walmart was so weird.
Legend has it souls still wonder the place looking for the blue light deals.
Lol
This Kmart was abandoned longer than it was an active store.
20 Years open and 20 years of being abandoned.
@@slackingpacking you mean 18 years active
The one at my city opened in 1986 and closed in 2003
Both of you guys be careful going into those places, you don't know who could be hiding in there and don't know if they have anything on them.
Emily Yonkovich lmao
bruh
There’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing, I’m a teenager and I might explore an abandoned kmart just to observe pieces of history
The Impala is between a 1981-1985 Box Chevys are worth money. That Impala with two tome paint is rare option for an Impala never seen one most of them were solid colors.
The Little Caesars is actually still open; The workers were just taking a break... 14:41
Looks like things got rough during the break 😂
User It’s sarcasm. Walle said that the pizza shop is closed. I made a joke and said that it’s only closed because the pizza workers were only taking a break. This doesn’t make sense because of the complete deterioration of the shop. Get it now?
User Welcome to walles channel. Simple content. Simple jokes. We’re chilling
@Robert E Spirko jr why not maybe it's like liquor and gets better with age!
17-18 years since my Ames in Seabrook closed it closed in 2002 when the company went bankrupt! Amazing video as always Wallie!
Wow the end of that made me nervous when you found those cars. I was hoping someone didnt pop out lol
Kmart was bigger than Walmart and Target combined together at one time
Lol the door is wide open for you Wallie. Excellent video & thank you for sharing. I like your shirt.
Cool as hell! Thanks for taking us places we would never see otherwise, and documenting history that will soon be gone (no doubt).
I jumped out of my chair when I got the notification. Been waiting for this one!
No you didn't !
0:50 you can see where its letters for the "Big K" were on its facade. It closed like right after it became Big Kmart then, because they were converting those back in the late-90's, and this closed in 2000.
Whenever you said "Hello?" I got freaked out some crazy person was gonna pop out at yous!
Wow those cars inside is just plain weird. Cool video tour of this abandoned Kmart.
Thank you for these videos. Your hard work is so appreciated! That looks so sad to see what was once probably a really popular shopping destination for Christmas presents turn to this. It makes me cry.
What an awesome video..I loved it! Boy, that bldg was h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e!!😨 It will no doubt be demolished one day. Those bathrooms looked like they came out of a nighhtmare😨Woonder what all those cars were doiing there?.... and yes, I thought the hay bales looked like a bed with its' makeshift "pillow". Wish I could have been there; video fantastic, Wallie!🤗🤗🤗
Wow I can't believe that this one closed in 2000 I remember going to this one as a kid 😕 I always wondered what it looked like now but I would never go in, knowing my luck I would meet people in there that I wouldn't want to meet.
I can remember when it was renovated a few years before closing, it was a really nice store.
I definitely love these videos! Although I think it's too funny 13:03 shows up on the wall as you're talking about giving urban explorers a bad name. lol
What's sad is now the Kmart building has spent over half its life closed up.
Been waiting for this video. 4 minutes in and loving it already!
Sadly I know what all those rooms were. Kmarts were all pretty much laid out the same. I worked at Kmart twice in my life. I miss Kmart. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! No way would I go in there! Thanks, Wallie.
my husband looked at your video and is glad you both got out safely!!!!!!!!
You are the best, Wallie! I appreciate you going out of your way to document this for us! Love your content! Stay awesome!
This location was demolished in May 2020. RIP Coal Two Kmart.
That's sad it's gone. Probably for the better.
Why?
@@DavidLand91 Probably the vandalism and the homeless occupied the building at times. Plus it was in really bad shape.
Was actually wondering about this place recently. Thanks for updating us!
Thats very sad! However it needed to get demo.
Awesome video....what does HRZ on front of building mean I wonder??
You made the most through video of this K Mart, and with the best lighting. Great job!!! And the old school Little Caesars label scar.
The bag at 17:15 was probably from what was Scot Lo-Cost food (what's now Weis Markets near there)
Dude, Not Gonna Lie. I've been Subbed for awhile now. I never watched your videos until last week. Now I can't stop watching them!, Keep up the good work 💪
The Kmart that I worked at for 3 years it was my first job, they just put in the paper (yes the news paper) that they are closing! It’s been a sad sad day.
Wallie, this made my entire night!! Love your channel!
Literally the exact same type of Kmart building I filmed. This is so freaking awesome dude!
That was a awesome video it was one of my favorites I really enjoyed it keep up the good work have a great weekend
Wow the inside gives out an apocalyptic feeling, like The Last Of Us.
Just found out our Kmart in Chambersburg PA is closing in mid December 2019. It opened in 1974 and it literally never changed, I was in it yesterday and it was like stepping back into 1978. I will explore it when it looks like this someday.
At least it’s being used for something now.
You know it is bad when you see sun light through the roof
You guys be very careful going in places like that you don't know what kind of sketchy people you're going to run into nevertheless an awesome video
There’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing, I’m a teenager and I might explore an abandoned kmart just to observe pieces of history
@@tdog8600 even fucking read it buddy
Oh! Good point! I completely forgot about that! Sketchy people are typically not only violent but violent people do typically live in abandoned buildings like this. Not only that, you have no clue what kind of lab you might uncover. Be VERY CAREFUL when inside these abandoned buildings. Even if there are no violent people inside now, that doesn't mean that there won't be tomorrow. And, even then, the statubachus mold known as black mold can leave you in the hospital. And, the ceiling could cave in at any time. Then of course is the obvious. Have you ever been in the building before? So, you have no clue what the floorplan or layout is and I doubt that the emergency exits still work. So, you may not be able to exit in an emergency. And, are police and fire fighters available if something goes wrong? ALWAYS USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM WHEN ENTERING ABANDONED BUILDINGS. And, always bring something that you can use to protect yourself in the event that you run into a sketchy person and bring a first aid kit. Upon the first sign of mayhem, it's time to leave.
@@chadrowland5234 agreed, I don’t think a fat girl would help back u up
Great video, I liked how you found abandoned cars and trucks in the auto center, wild. Thanks for sharing and posting this video, take care, Stay Awesome
This was so amazing to watch thanks Wallie for filming this place very cool to see the inside of an abandoned Kmart
Must have been in fairly rough shape when it closed, this is in worse condition than Sidney and that store has been abandoned for nearly a decade longer.
Rescue the kittys
Another great video! There was so much mold in there!
same with the ames in essex md
K is for kats...Kat-Mart! 😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺😺 All the Kmarts will be looking like this in no time! ☹️
Awesome you finally got to filmed that one thanks to Journey with Jay! look like that Kmart became an kitty mart with all the cats running around outside, likely those are feral cats that are hanging around.
Kitty mart too funny
The one in Madison Indiana that was on the same list of closures as this one looks from street view to still be abandoned.
I still work at Kmart. Soon this is its future
Something oddly fascinating to me about abandoned buildings like these places once had so many people either working or just shopping and now it’s just a time capsule stuck in whatever time the place closed
Guess kmarts the strip club of cats 👍😂😂😂
Awsome video once again Wallie! I see one of the cars came from CoPart. Im betting one or more is stolen.
Wow that's incredible!
I wonder what's the deal with those cars and trucks left in the garage? I wonder if they could be stolen.
I'm honestly surprised they 1) haven't been stolen, and 2) at least parts haven't been stolen from them
Those cars are definitely stolen
You guys need to check out the abandoned Kmart in St. John In. Famous for the “Kmart killings” in 1985.
While you were up this way you should've checked out the abandoned Redner's Warehouse Market in Kingston/Edwardsville. It's in the same plaza as a Kmart that was flooded by the Susquehanna River. It was flooded all the way up to the Kmart sign on the front of the store in 2011 and they STILL re-opened it while the Redner's and any other businesses besides Long John Silver's opted to stay closed. That plaza contains one of the only TWO Kmarts left in Northeastern Pennsylvania unless you wanna trek all the way to Wind Gap, which is south of Stroudsburg.
Ohhh man I never knew about them. I definitely might have to go check them out.
@@journeywithjay I don't know if there's any way to get into the former Redner's or not though. I DO know that there's another abandoned Kmart in Endicott, NY that flooded. They put black plastic over the windows after it closed, presumably to hide the festering mold infestation that's still going on in there.
Honestly I'm kinda shocked that one got shuttered while they kept the one closer to me open since the one here was almost completely submerged. Though I've heard from numerous people that it somehow still does amazing sales numbers, even though the lot is almost never full.
This article from a local newspaper (Citizens Voice) has a picture from 2011 showing how high the water got on the Kmart here: www.citizensvoice.com/news/kmart-sues-mark-plaza-owners-1.1514865

I hope none of the cats ventured into this abandoned place. I'm a cat person! Otherwise, good find. I love how your channel are very respectable with all places. You got my support and respect!
This former Kmart looks like one I've seen in Plainview, Texas which is abandoned probably for several years.
i glad you went inside but hey thank you for another great video
ALWAYS bring a respirator...Ya just never know...that and gloves and tools...I never leave home without them.
Awesome wallie
My question is why arent these cities and states ain't fining.the owners of these abandoned buildings?
My guess the city ownes it now.
Wow! What 20 years can do to a building! Should be torn down!
It is!
Omg awesome video made my night wallie your the man.❤❤
New subscriber. I worked for Kmart. Not this location, but it’s sad seeing Kmarts once full of life, looking like this. I saw a comment, the building here has been demolished. So sad.
thank you for being so brave ❤️ the video
Wow!! That place is trashed!!!
Love it bro sorry about being inactive awesome video
It's now Katmart
Does anyone know where I can find pictures of it while it was open?
I worked at this store long before it became a Kmart. It was called Big N (Neisner) at that time and I worked in stereo/record department. It was 1977 because I remember the flood of customers coming in to buy Elvis albums!!
There is a kmart closing in elkview in wv
The moment you went inside I'm like: Nope I'm done
16:56, “Someone was living in here.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Chambersburg PA K-MART was closed December 1st, 2019....,I wonder how long it will sit abandoned...... forever I hope.
Great video Wallie thank u for documentation this I old retail stuff I hate Eddie for taking job away from and Amazon and Walmart people are lazy today
our Kmart just closed last year very sad :(
coffee and wallie ,,,,,,,,,,, keep em coming
Ah, Kmart and Ames. Both stores of my childhood. My hometown had an Ames. But the Kmart we shopped at was in Burnham, PA. My best friend and I went to the Altoona, PA right before it closed. So sad to see someplace you enjoyed just fade away. I remember eating at the K Cafe. They had some of the best French fries in the world. But anyway, thanks for the memories, Wallie.
Oh wow, this Kmart has been closed for as long as I've been alive
That's amazing
Was this a Big Kmart or just a regular small one? It seems to have been a BigK
Thank you for the Great video
im proud of u that u can post this kind of videos if it clean or in BAD shape i know that u wanted do it for a long time (thinking to yourself) that u wanted to do for ur viewers who loves watching ur videos (including me) and we have your back no matter what kind of things u get in to and ur being safe
There was a smart in the ashtabula mall that closed back in late 2014 maybe early 2015. You should check it out
It's crazy all those cars in the Auto Center. My Kmart never had a Little Caesars in it. They had a Kcafe until 1994. Then they put clothes where it use to be. It stayed like that until it closed in 2003.
Nice Cavalier! :)
Except it was in Lake Zurich Illinois, it is now demolished but I filmed a documentary on it
Great exploration!
Hi Wallie,,thanks for the cool video's,,needless to say you didnt seem to Comfortable in that Shamokin Kmart,,I'm glad you and Kayla explored that,and I'm glad you were safe,dont the other Kmarts you visit look like luxury hotels compared to Shamokin??Lol,,I'm Dave in Philly,your videos are great.,I have to say,,,Fly Eagles Fly,,,😁😁
"Hellaow"
That Kmart is creepy and gross hope you guys were careful
i bet the keys to that place are long gone
They need to Demolished that Kmart now cause it’s Molded.
It's ceilingtileless. And one of the big round diffusers fell down
@@jonathancreveling5658seems like the diffusers they had were having serious problems it was demolished after that from what I heard the whole building was torn down because of the mold and lack of safety and other stuff the whole building gave pretty much creepy and horror vibes i would not set foot in something like that my fear would go up tremendously that would make me not go inside a building like that I would defend turn around and go home
This was not a victim of Eddie fartfort. This close before the first bankruptcy.
@Dusk Raccoon it all started when they try being more just Kmart buying office max borders books sports Sports authority which lead to a lot of dept. They filed bankruptcy in 2002 and it look like they was going have a turn around but CEO at the time got caught in a big scandal with company funds witch added to the dept. Then good old Eddie bought all the dept in bankruptcy and took over the company. He never put any resources in the stores. All he did was sell property raided the assets until they had nothing. He bought Sears in 2005 did same.
That and the Embezzlement scandal that let the devil in Eddie.
Seeing those cars in there is creepy as hell! That Jeep Liberty is definitely mid 00s. I’m sure those garage doors can be opened fairly easily. Honestly those cars remind me of the abandoned Dodge Durango my buddy and I found along the Ohio river in the industrial park by Monaca bridge.
Sears and Kmart will be gone in Pittsburgh by Christmas
😭I’m still sad Grove City is closing.
Slacking Packing and the Richmond and the Harrison KMARTS to
@@slackingpacking Chippewa has been gone for 3 years and was just replaced by a Uhaul depot about 6 months ago
@@xandermauldin9855 yeah that makes me mad. We dont need a uhaul in chippewa
The ceiling is bad with all the tiles gone
Awesome video wallie
It's amazing how quickly nature starts to reclaim land once it's no longer tended too.
Good video, I always was curious about the inside of this one from Journey with Jay's video. Glad it was a safe walkthrough for you guys. That place is very creepy looking and was it infested with rats and bees at all?
What a GREAT video!
13:34 I want that dangling round vent. So bad.
No you don't, you don't know where that vent has been it could have mold inside of it and it's deteriorating as well you touch that vent your gonna end up with really long needles in you my best advice for you Is not pick up a vent like that you don't know if that tube has mold in it or anything like that plus it's been demolished anyways
