@@evanprothro7810yahoo you´d be suprised how many closed down malls or shoppingcenters have at least 1 unlocked door to give easy access for those who doesnt have a key
I live an hour north of there and they shut it down bc ppl would steal in large groups..too many people to catch at once so after so much loss, it closed. What an embarrassment on the ppl there being so nasty.
I used to start 2yr old horses on the trails on this property - when it opened it was a needed resource - within a yr I vowed to never go back - other than the liquor store I stayed away + the people out there ruined it - PRP was once a proud , semi rural , decent place to be from - political decisions - primarily busing and the merger between the county and the city has ruined Pleasure Ridge
Damn thugs not only cost employees jobs, but they also drive the price up for law abiding people. This is happening all to often in America. We are becoming a lawless country.
they likly didnt get around to it yet and given walmart is such a m assive corpoaration im not sure it was much of a loss to them if thjey did get anything taken.. but its likly they havent removed it all yet given the lights were on and such and i assume the ac and heating systems
You are so right about a law-less country. The whole world is becoming lawless. Just like the Bible read during the last days right will be wrong and wrong will be right. KJV Bible. If yeah ask me the Walmarts are not closing because people steal from Walmart, yeah it does not help Walmart but not the whole reason why Walmarts closing. One hung read the KJV Bible. By for know. In Christ, Jason.
There is no way that door was just open lol . I live in Louisville approximately 10 minutes away from this store. The homeless and kids that be in that area would have hit that store. Not to mention the police. This person recording knows someone that has keys to this building
@@nishawilson2333 that’s so true, they must know that person or they are related to the person who has the keys. Plus, yes if they didn’t have the door locked everybody would be hanging out in there even homeless people and gangs. The police would have to come clear out everyone!
I'm from Louisville. I recognized some of the places in the intro. And my sister lives just a few miles from this closed Walmart. It closed because it's in a kinda rough area, and unfortunately there was a lot of shoplifting, violence in the parking lot, and drug stuff going on there. The stuff is probably all still in there because they just hadn't moved it yet. Really cool to see my hometown on video like this, though.
@@Blacksheepp660 it depends where, of course. But the Cane Run area, which is on the other side of the Walmart from the Greenbelt, is very rough. In fact I worked at Pizza Hut 20 years ago, and there were certain roads off Cane Run, that they wouldn't deliver to even way back then. Shagbark comes to mind...
Literally lived around the corner from this place. This was my shopping spot ALL THE TIME. It literally closed 3-4 months before I moved from that area… you made me kind of wanna see if it’s still “open” 😂😏
I live in Louisville , SHOPLIFTING. Is terrible at any retail stores . I wish I could comment on what should be legal to handle shoplifters but my comment would be removed
I have to drive between 40-45 minutes to the nearest Walmart where I lived. It is not a bad drive towards that Walmart. The Walmart that I go to is always busy when I go into it. This Walmart has a Subway restaurant in it. Nice service desk area. It was built in 2012. The original old school Walmart was in front of it during construction. The old one was smaller store. It was torn down shortly after the newer and bigger store was opened. I remembered going into the new store it was really bigger and very nice. I was recovering from a broken ankle at that time during 2012. I was using those shopping cart scooters around the store having a walker with me in the cart. My mother was shopping for groceries and stuff in the store. I think it was in May or June 2012. I liked going to Walmart for a few things. I also go to Target that is a little bit farther than Walmart. One store that I totally missed that was very close towards my apartment was Shopko. That went out of business in 2019. I liked to go in it really quickly and was able to pickup some items there.
Wow, Walmart practically left everything behind except the stock. I am shock, Usually when a store closes they remove all of the fixtures. Great video!
I've been to this Walmart when it was open it was on the Cane run road area. I live in the Connecticut but used to pick up new moving vans from Kentucky Trailer and drive them back to the northeast. The Kentucky trailer pickup yard was a couple miles from this on Old Millers Lane. I remember putting diesel fuel in a couple of the moving trucks at this Walmart and eating at the Sonic
It literally used to be so easy to scan and not buy from that’s why it didn’t last long not to mention the people that went there wasn’t the most hardworking or anything
That sounds like a noble idea, but they would just destroy it . That's why the government stopped funding homeless shelters because they behave like wild animals. There's a reason they're homeless.
When they shutdown the old Walmart and had the new Walmart Supercenter. They left allot of stuff behind. They hardly took any of the electronics gaming systems and TV's. Me and my friends took them all. We checked the security office and they didn't take the security systems and we took those also. Lucky we had room ro put everything in the back of the vehicle. We kept eyes on the place and nobody arrived and did anything. Cause we put clear tape on the top of doors to see if they was ever opened. Homeless People was staying inside until one of them told someone that reported it to the police. Those that was on there was charged with breaking and entering and theft. It was later demolished.
So you are self snitching because just because they didn't take it meant you could they have to write that stuff off I mean you admitted to taking everything too they can track your IP if they want to recoup some of the money they lost stupid something said don't make you look smart
Because we pay the bills, the taxpayer, and most productive come from China. They never paid any taxes, so.... Lights and... Maybe FEMA for incoming people who usually live behind Walmarts.
Where in the Louisville area was this store located? It appears to be a newer/nicer location to have been shuttered so quickly into the natural life cycle of a store.
I would not open a store like walmart in the Hood, simply because I already knew they would clean the selves off and not realize it would lead to most stores leaving. !
They leave behind so many empty abandoned buildings. Needs to have end of life stipulations like mines have, to put things back like they were before they are built.
Wal-Mart has a company that provides, sets-up and removes store fixtures for them. The "crew" and the big trucks will show-up in the middle of the night, the guys will do their thing and the place will be ready for a Megachurch or what-ever to move in! There is an "empty" Wally-World near me full of store fixtures, lights and carts. They keep a few for "warehousing" and as they call it "product staging" holding next season's items for 30-45 days from distribution centers part-way to retail stores. They keep HVAC units in there for stores and freezer parts etc. so everything isn't a drop-dead emergency too. Lose a "drive-in" reefer unit and you have to wait 36-72 hours for the big truck to bring a new one, 12-24 hours installation, tons of lost product, have to re-fill the freezer, and I only worked for a Safeway in the late 1960's! W-W's have freezers bigger than our entire STORE was (25,000 sq. ft.) plus labor and cleaning. Sterilizing a drive-in ceiling to floor (has to be done!) is HARD, LONG, BACK-BREAKING WORK! Health Dept. hovering with test tubes for samples.
I live out close to that Walmart & it's hurt us that it's closed, because we now r no where near a Full Service Grocery Store. Shoplifting happens at all the Walmarts in Louisville. Maybe they can put a Sam's Club in there.
This Walmart was in a very bad area. I don't think Sam's would want most of their merchandise walking out the door. My grandson and his wife worked there.
I brought my mother grocery shopping there one night and seen 3 big screen tv’s get stolen. It’s a shame that they had to close the location because of it being a Service Center. There’s not too many of them around either to get your vehicles serviced at. The shoplifting was really bad there.
This looks like a relatively new Walmart Supercenter. Too bad it closed. Since KY is known for making the smaller old skool walmarts into Peddlers malls, maybe they would consider turning this into a Super Peddlers Mall or something.
Being "private property", one can be charged with trespassing if caught there. Great opportunity for someone to use this huge open indoor space for hydroponics. Install solar voltaics and water catchment systems on the roof. Create a homeless shelter and overnight RV/TRUCK area on the vast parking lot. Create jobs locally. Such a waste to see it sitting there unoccupied. Property taxes on it still need paid.
All the shopfittings still there , they could be going to do a security remodel and open again with far tighter security . Its not abandoned , power still on , services paid .
The fact that the music is still playing is very creepy, it's giving me the movie " The Shining" vibes in the Overlook Hotel.😐
It’s because the dude works there or knows someone who is there. No way that door was open. Anything for a view these days.

It literally looks just like my local Walmart before it closed for renovations!
It looks like they could easily re open it at any moment though!
This reminds me of the last time i went to the sporting goods section of walmart. They didn't have what i wanted, and nobody was around to help.

It must've been weird to still be able to go to the bank with the rest of the store closed.
Hello Rosalind
Wow, Walmart practically left everything behind except the stock. I am shock, Usually when a store closes they remove all of the fixtures. Great video!
They are probably still paying a lease on the building so the are leaving until they have a need for them.
Walmart got so much money they could just leave the lights on in an abandoned building lol
Our tax $. FEMA camp-- incoming homeless -- no shopping- no food!
Right off the greenbelt HWY I used to shop here all the time , it was convenient that I only lived down the street . Now I shop at Kroger .
This is insane! Cant believe they left all of that stuff
And it closed in April :/ it’s hard for people to get in places that recently closed this one of the few Kmarts to close in April-may that did.

I love how the lovely music is playing in the background
Do you know the music
The music is still on to keep people out. It's a rare sight, a clean, completely
empty, store site. Sans tornado/debris.
With the music on that makes it 1000 times scarier and if it was Halloween music playing I would run
If it was abandoned…why the hell are the lights still on?
Probably to over inflate the tax write off
Because we pay the bills, the taxpayer, and most productive come from China. They never paid any taxes, so.... Lights and... Maybe FEMA for incoming people who usually live behind Walmarts.
because the lease is not up yet!

We need somebody to play Jack Torrence walking with a limb in this Walmart.
And say “ Danny, Danny boy, I’m coming “
i think they knew you were in there and they disconnected the intercom system so you cant activate it XD
If it was closed down I’m wondering why all the lights were on with what appeared no employees were around?
I live in Louisville and my Mom in Law worked here, they closed due to theft, they was losing money
