Kendall, FL - The last full-sized Kmart store in the continental United States closed on Sunday, making the Kmart in Kendall the last remaining store in the mainland United States.
With the recent closure of the last full-sized Kmart store in Bridgehampton, New York, the only remaining location is the smaller-scale store in Kendall.
Located at 14091 SW 88 St. in the Kendale Lakes Plaza, the Kendall Kmart has been operating since March 2023 after downsizing from its previous larger space.
The vacated space has since been leased by At Home, a home décor retailer.
Kmart's decline can be attributed to declining sales, changing consumer habits, and intense competition from retailers like Walmart.
The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2002.
