that kmart was once a ames and before a zayer

Kmart in Augusta, Maine.  A very old and small store.  It looks like the front wall used to be made of windows.

[Zayre88]

Former Kmart in Skowhegan, Maine.  It closed 9 years ago and is still vacant today.  Dollar Tree is supposed to be the future store there in 2006.

When the news about the closing was released, Kmart operated 2,163 Kmart stores in the U.S.  Today the number is less than 1,500 ...

Soon it will be 10 yeras since the k-mart closed. I have read a lot abotu that store. I will vist the skowhegan area in late may. I bet opening nearby killed it. I mean that k-mart was said to be 40000 square feet. I saw it in real estate listings and the old Kmart real estate listings (gone now). I remember ww.zayre88.com saying the k-mart in SKowhegan never changed with the old logo, have neon burned lights, brown wooden cash registers and orange walls. That was the older kmarts. the k-marts in Portsmouth, Manchester, GIlford and COnway NH had those old designs still as k-mart was remodeling stores in the early and mid 1990s and did not become Big kmart till later, conway and gilford never saw their chance of being big k. the kmart in Burlington vermont still has the old school kmart logo and the outside of the store looks gross.

Kmart introduced the new logo in 1990. But it seems 1990 was the transition of the Red K and turquiost mart to the big Red with K in it. the new one now is smaller red letters of k-mart and no dash. It seems 1990 was the transition of new store formats, like that was probably the year of the transition of Toys r us' taht have the old school design (Brown, has the geoffery giraffe near the lettering, the lettering has different colors, has the rainbow colored entrance and the exit is glass with black bars on them to the white design for toys r us that has rainbow colors go somewhat across.

This is one store I really miss. They filmed a commerical at the one near me in Seekonk. The main singer was positioned behind the Red K and the back up group around the turquoise mart. I brought my first car to their auto shop for repairs and tires. Sure it was an older store but it was a great place. Always found what I needed. It seemed that this type of K-mart was always next door to a supermarket. This one was first a Big "G" then a Valueland. Very sad when they both shut down. Lot was vacant for a long time, then the K-mart was divided into several smaller parcels--a Ann & Hope home store, a Family Dollar and a vacant middle section. The market is now a Price Rite discount market. I hate it.

articles in www.newslibrary.com said it closed in 1995. I have a picture of it dated from 20/7/2005 at 20:31  on page 8, 9 or 10.
