Abandoned Kmart - Middleburg Heights, OH

  • Abandoned Kmart - Middleburg Heights, OH. This is another fine example of a once strong retailer that was left to fall apart and collapse due to the ignorance and greed of the company's ceo. This particular Kmart closed in late 2018/early 2019. Since then only a portion of the store has been repurposed while the rest just sits currently with nothing happening to it. There is talk to get new tenants in the building in the near future, however.

    There used to be a kmart near me, it closed down, and It changed to a different store, The last time I've been in kmart was when everything in the inside was almost empty, and also there is a burger king near the store, the burger king is still open.

    Hey, I really enjoy your videos! I wanted to give you a heads-up that there are 3 abandoned Kmarts in a relatively close area if you're ever in New England. Tewksbury, MA (Big K., closed for a long time now, a very early closure), Billerica, MA (original 1975 store closed late last year) and Salem, NH (closed last year, used briefly in the fall as "Spirit of Halloween.") Thanks for the great content! You do a great job.

    Just letting you know that fin feather fur outfitters has been a separate store from that Kmart for years. Multiple stores called it home before fin feathers did. I remember two of the old stores one of them was a guitar store and the other one a dollar store

    • @MondayNightRAWsRKO2024-xk9ew
      @MondayNightRAWsRKO2024-xk9ew Před 4 měsíci

      Was originally guessing a grocery store next to the Kmart. As most old kmarts and retail stores back in the 60s and 70s had grocery stores next door to them. It was also a dollar paradise for awhile then that fin fur place it is now!

  • @DLJBFan2009
    @DLJBFan2009 Před 2 lety

    That Kmart sign by the street probably has the original Kmart logo (before “Big”) on it under the Big K sign and the sign for Leewards (a craft store) under the plate for Fin Feather Fur, since that was the original tenant on that space. That other smaller sign was probably a later replacement. They’re close to the street because of the city ordinance against tall signs.

  • @mourning_paper
    @mourning_paper Před 3 lety

    Hey Wallie! My local Kmart closed back in 2017-2018. It was originally a big Kmart that was downsized/degraded to a regular Kmart in the 00’s. I remember instead of building like a temporary wall to block off the grocery area, they just had a big black tarp going from the front to the back of the store. It was so janky, I laughed every time I took a visit by it. But the sad part is they just left the abandoned grocery part to just rot and wither away. I remember going right at the start of the liquidation sale and peeking behind the tarp seeing it so broken down and just pitiful. The rest of the store wasn’t much better, there was water damage in the ceiling all over the store, like most of the stores the shelves were in disarray, the lights were constantly flickering, garden center was rotting, layaway looked like the closed off portion of the store, it was just completely pitiful and pathetic honestly. It’s such a shame that the store went into that bad of shape over so many years. After the store closed it was disgraced by being remodeled into a Hobby Lobby of all things.

    I honestly don't have too many memories at Kmart despite going there a lot. I can only remember that the A/C was always on full blast at my childhood store and those circle vents would blow a few light things around if they got put under them. My only actual memory was during liquidation when there was police tape everywhere and missing shelves (I don't remember closing signs anywhere) but I didn't realize it was closing down.
