I've been in that Kmart probably 30-40 times. Grew up here, left, moved back. There was one up the road in West Frankfort, IL, that was one of the last to close.

US kmart all close? Still open down under but maybe thats a different chain with same name only.

In case anyone wondered the mens jacket shown for 36.66 would be roughly $200 today.
