for this Auburn Maine one, notice that it is possible there was a kmart foods next door. look at the scar. Kmart must have expanded into it.

notice an logo labelscar in this kmart in Auburn.

Here you also see the labelscar, looks like they repaired the holes left by the old Kmart logo.  It also looks like there usedto be a Kmart Foods in the area you noticed.  The picture is from 1999 i think.

here is a closing kmart in Fort Morgan, colorado closing after 30 years

artcile Kmart to close after 30 years
By CAMERON MATHEWS
Times Staff Writer

Kmart, 1209 Main St., will be closing for good after 30 years of service to the Fort Morgan community.

The store first opened its doors July 29, 1976, under manager Dieter H. Overhoff.

The very first Kmart location opened in 1962 in Detroit, Mich., with 17 other stores opening the same year. By 1976, 900 stores were in operation.

By the year 2000, the Fort Morgan Kmart went through some expansion. Approximately 8,000 square feet of retail space were added. Also, workers at the time converted an 8,000-square-foot inventory storage area on the south side of the building to new retail space. Kmart became Big Kmart and remained under its new title for six years.

Chris Brathwaite, Kmart's corporate media relations spokesman, said the store will be shutting down in July but was unsure when Kmart decided to close.

Closing shop Kmart at Platte Avenue and Main Street will be shutting down in July after being in business for 30 years in Fort Morgan. The store had its grand opening back in 1976.

"Retail stores tend to close from time to time based on if leases expire or because of the performance of the store itself," Brathwaite said. "I do hope that all the associates proudly employed at the (Fort Morgan) Kmart will apply for positions at other locations in the area."

Jana Luna, store manager at Kmart, confirmed the store was going out of business but couldn't release any comments concerning specific reasons why the store was closing.

City Superintendent Dan Dean said the store's closing will have a negative impact on the city's sales tax.

"An even bigger issue will be the loss of jobs," Dean said. "It's very sad and I hope they all find new jobs. We would hate to lose them in the community."

Jon Becker, executive director of the Morgan County Economic Development Corp. (MCEDC), said basically it's a tragedy that Morgan County will be losing the many jobs from Kmart.

"We are trying to increase the number of jobs instead of losing them," Becker said. "We lose choices on our retail which in turn may cause people to go out of town to shop. Obviously our focus is their jobs. Anytime you lose that kind of payroll, it will have a negative impact on the town."

Becker noted the need to keep an eye out for the Kmart employees who will be out of business come July.

"We also want to put a call out to any other businesses hiring to look at these loyal Kmart employees to try and employ them," Becker added. "It will also hurt us to have one of our main entrances to the city having a large vacant lot... This is just another reason as to why we need to add primary jobs to the county and how important it is for us to work together to get that done."

Sorry that it isn't up to your par.

Anyways, it was rumored at one point about them knocking down the former Price Chopper and building a Super K Mart. Now with the merger with Sears, who knows what they have planned. I would love to see a Sears Grand go into there.

There's so many other rumors that have flown through over the past few years like Sangertown Square was rebuilding the Cinemas and adding onto them, JC Penney was building a new store, and their former store was going to become more smaller retail spaces (just finished remodeling it instead). There's so much retail space available in the area, and not enough retail to fill it. Most retail that does come in, just builds new anyways.
