I remember going to this K-Mart all the time as a kid back when the store wasn’t confined to the garden section, it’s in the perfect part of Miami for a K-Mart, the area that’s further inland away from the touristy areas and not far from where the Palmetto Expressway meets I-95. A truly unremarkable area, perfect for K-Mart.

Fun Fact about this Kmart: The reason why it's so small is because it's actually the Garden section of their previous location. Because of all the closures and needing to downscale, this location decided to utilize the Garden Shop into the actual store itself. Which is actually really smart because not only now are they able to stay in business but also less products they have to worry about selling. They're able to focus on the essentials that people need.

I was born in 1997 (probably barely around the time of their peak; which was the same year Big Kmart debuted) and I do remember going to Kmart at the turn of the century (albeit just barely) and throughout at least half of my childhood in the early to mid 2000s as well as my adolescence and at the very beginning of my adulthood in the 2010s. My local childhood Kmart, which was located in Stuart, turned into a Sears Essentials in 2005, and then eventually closed in 2012. That same store had a Little Caesars until it was turned into a Sears Essentials, then the Little Caesars became the Sears Optical department all the way up until the store's closure. The Kmart/Sears Essentials is now an Old Time Pottery (which opened in either 2013 or 2014) and an Ollie's Bargain Outlet (which opened in late September of 2020). The last time I ever actually stepped foot into a Kmart was in late October of 2019 when the Vero Beach location was in the process of liquidating.

I worked at a Kmart around 2011 for about a year. They always put those sale stickers up and rotate them out weekly. We would spend one night every weekend placing sheets of stickers on a majority of the products in the store. I guess people are more likely to buy a product if they believe it is on "sale".

The only other K-Mart that I know of is in Guam USA, that has been there since I was a kid (When I visit family, I live in California). Even still has a Little Caesar's near the entrance. It's basically the main store everyone goes to get stuff.

where i live there was a Kmart just a couple blocks away. i’m not sure when it opened but it closed in 2019. I went there to spend my Christmas money every year up it till it closed. The sad part was every year it got worse, dirty, worse inventory, and just sad. Towards the end I didn’t even spend my money there bc it was just slop it reminded more of a bargain hunt or a goodwill more than anything.

I miss Kmart a lot, but don't miss their high prices. It's the first time my family discovered Little Caesars. I've always felt that Kmart had a better selection than Walmart and I could find things there that Walmart always switched out. My mom would often buy me things for my house and said she'd always find better things at Kmart. I felt that they'd keep stock of older merchandise and that if I wanted to find a replacement of something, Kmart would still have it years later, whereas Walmart wouldn't. I found a better variety of movies and video games, as well as automotive accessories. As a kid, my brother and I would remark about how they'd carry certain toys that Walmart didn't. And don't feel bad about the breathing thing. I'm Asthmatic myself and we know we get easily winded. A lot of people don't understand how they take simple breathing for granted and how we have to watch it a lot more. I just mowed the grass and I came back in and had to take it easy, even though I have a self-propelled mower.

Take this, however, but stuff like this truly makes me depressed and just bad about many of these companies. I'm against cooperations very anticapitalists. I'm also very much antionline shopping too. As many stores sell what you need and will price match. Seeing companies like this, it's hard to see.

I worked at KMart HQ in the 90s and the only thing I've been surprised at is that there are _any_ stores still around! The utterly boneheaded decisions by corporate were astounding. It was there that I finally truly understood what people meant by "Stepping over dollars to pick up pennies"

Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s Kmart was thee go to place for shopping for me anyways way more then Walmart people these days don’t realize that they were both really on in the same Walmart wasn’t selling food yet that’s how they took off a one stop shop approach Kmart tried it with just the basic necessity grocery items but it they just couldn’t compete then they merged with sears prices starting going up where Walmart could afford do drop prices and then is what ultimately killed Kmart it’s like blockbuster and dine in pizza huts on a Friday night nothing will ever compare to them days

Was a kid in the 80's. Shopped there often but toys were more expensive than Toys R Us and didn't shop there for clothes. Other kids would make fun of you by saying, "must be a Blue Light Special". But yeah, ended up shopping there alot anyway. Even in the 80's it was not the cool store anymore.

I worked 35 years at KMart. From an employee to an assistant manager, then back to HR. It’s sad when I first started it was fun. We stayed in our departments. Had plenty of register operators. We helped each other. Then politics came to play. Had the executives listened to their employees we wouldn’t have closed. Sure we didn’t need mass amounts of stores in one area. We had 6 in the area I worked at. Definitely didn’t need to extend counters that high.
