The closure of Kmart's last full-scale store on the U.S. mainland marks the end of an era for the once-thriving retail chain, which had over 2,000 locations at its peak.
Kmart’s struggle against competitors like Walmart and Target led to its filing for Chapter 11 in 2002, marking a significant downturn for the retail giant.
Despite efforts to resurrect the brand after merging with Sears, the economic downturn and e-commerce growth led to a continued decline, culminating in Kmart's final closure.
Today, only a small Kmart remains in Miami along with a few international locations, highlighting the immense scale of its fall from retail prominence.
