LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
With the latest round of closings, how many remain in the state? Only one I can think of is Warren (10/Dequindre).
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
According to an article I read, there will be 3 left in Michigan after the closings
If they’re closing the Grayling and Oscoda locations where they have NO COMPETITION (Dollar General doesn’t count), THEY ARE DONE. They won’t be around by Memorial Day next year...
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
Grayling Kmart is closing this year. Saw a couple of articles on it. I think that lot would be good for a Family Farm & Home.

Marine City was still open as of this past weekend.

Meijer on 26 Mile killed that location.

Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
Warren and Waterford are closing, leaving Marshall as the last Kmart in the state.
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
I recently visited a Rural King (the Honey Boo Boo of retail) that was housed in a closed Super K-Mart. What other repurposing are you seeing?

Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
Need more Rural Kings in Michigan. I only know of 2 locations in the state and I've been to the one in Niles. When I go to Illinois, Rural King is all over.

The 10 Mile & Dequindre building will probably be left to rot, much like Northland Center in Southfield and Summit Place Mall in Waterford. It is in a terrible location. The store is surrounded by industrial property uses plus the vacant Hazel Park raceway. To the north are some of the sleaziest, filthiest hotels in Metro Detroit.
Unless the indoor flea market down the street wants the building or Kroger wants to build a larger store to replace the 12 Mile & Dequindre store (highly unlikely), I don't know who the hell would want the site.
The Waterford site on busy Dixie Highway in the heart of Waterford's retail corridor and also a stone's throw from Clarkston should be more desirable.
I do think Rural King will build more stores in Michigan with time.
Blain's Farm & Fleet is another.

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
I've been seeing advertisements on TV for Blain's Farm & Fleet in Traverse City. I'd really like to have some Rural Kings up here in the north country. The Kmart building in Grayling would be a good spot. I have heard Family Farm and Home tossed around for Grayling but who knows...
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
The ex KMart in Madison Heights is now a BJs. Westland’s turned into a U-Haul. I think the original in Garden City is still vacant.
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
I could see either Meijer, Target, or even Walmart go on the Waterford site. I am very surprised that neither of the three have a location anywhere near Clarkston.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 9:44 amhttps://www.detroitnews.com/story/busin ... 532737001/

Speaking of Blain's, I think one of the former Kmarts in Jackson became a Blain's.
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
Grayling needs something to replace Kmart but the leaders of the city seem anti big-box store. If you don't have something people will just go out of town to spend their dollars. They are only hurting the community.
Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
Kenneth City FL. I believe it's their last store in the state. Every year when we go back I expect it to be gone. But it keeps hanging on. Looks like they haven't done any updating since 1960.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.
