Mon Sep 23 21:41:17 UTC 2024: ## Kmart’s American Era Ends with Closure of Last Full-Size Store
**Bridgehampton, NY** – Kmart, a once dominant retail force with over 2,000 stores across the US, is about to vanish from the mainland. The Bridgehampton, Long Island, store, the last full-size Kmart in the country, will close its doors on October 20th, marking the end of an era.
The closure follows the closing of the chain’s remaining stores in New Jersey, leaving only a downsized location in Miami’s Kendal Lakes Plaza. This Miami location, however, primarily operates as an At Home store, with Kmart occupying a small portion of the space.
While Kmart still has a presence in the US Virgin Islands and Guam, the Bridgehampton closure marks the end of the chain’s mainland US presence. Shoppers have expressed mixed emotions about the closing, with some surprised by the store’s longevity and others lamenting the loss of a familiar shopping destination.
The 89,935 square foot Bridgehampton store, once the largest tenant in the Bridgehampton Commons shopping center, is currently holding a closing sale.
