Iconic retailer to close last full-sized store in the United States this week

This week marks the end of an era as one-time retail giant Kmart will close its last full-sized store in the continental United States.

The store, which is located in Bridgehampton, New York, is slated to close on Oct. 20.

That will leave one store left in Miami, but USA Today reported that store is not a full-sized store, and that it has a “limited range of products.”

While this marks a dramatic fall for Kmart in the United States, PEOPLE Magazine reported the company is doing well in Australia and New Zealand.

USA Today reported that Kmart once had more than 2,000 locations around the country as it duked it out with Walmart in the retail giant game. The company merged with Sears in 2005, and per USA Today, it fell behind “as e-commerce grew and consumer preferences changed.”

The company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2018.

USA Today said there are also locations in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam.

The site added that the Sears and Kmart merged company has shuttered more than 3,500 stores and laid off more than 250,000 jobs across the past 15 years.

The first Kmart store opened in 1962 in Garden City, Michigan.
