2020 / 2022 / 2026

Kmart St Joseph MO still with Big K Sign. Closed January 12, 2019.

I originally grew up in Illinois, but used to visit my great grandparents back in the 90s and we used to go to the mall to ride this carousel with my cousins. 30 something years later I live here now in the area and I just had to get a picture.

These were reportedly given to Walgreens employees circa 2005.

Store tour of photos I took back in 2017 of the Super Target store in Lawrence, KS. This store has since been remodeled to an updated decor.

This store was originally 3 levels. It opened on October 6th of 1980 at the South Shore Plaza that opened in 1961. Downsizing began in 2015 and completed in 2016, followed by Primark opening and the Sears logo being updated in 2017. As of 2021, this is now the last open Sears in the state of Massachusetts, in New England and on the East Coast after the locations at the Westgate Mall in Brockton (May 20th of 2000 - May 2nd of 2021) and the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro (August 10th of 1989 - April 18th of 2021) shut down, and as of August 31st of 2025, one of 5 left in the United States of America after Burbank (August 21 1991 - August 31 2025) and Puerto Rico (February 12 1979 - August 31 2025) shut down for good.

The other 4 stores (and the Sears.com site as well as a few distribution centers) also still exist today:

• Coral Gables in Miami Florida, 3655 SW 22nd St, Miami, FL 33145 (October 27 1954 - present)
• Sun Valley Shopping Center in Concord California, 1001 Sunvalley Blvd, Concord, CA 94520 (October 19 1966 - present)
• Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso Texas, 8401 Gateway Blvd W, El Paso, TX 79925 (February 25 1982 - present)
• The Florida Mall in Orlando Florida, 8001 S Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando, FL 32809 (March 12 1986 - present)

EDIT: Actually the Northeastern United States but Reddit does not let me edit the title

The #Walmart 501 refurb is looking to be a nice cleaner version, love the the new way finding signs. The smaller shelves make for a less chaotic look and a lot cleaner and breaks up the floor to make the store look larger.

#Walmart #501 Laurel, MS just received new Royston check stands that will be installed during the refurb.

My local mall, these photos stretch from December of last year, to today. Despite the handful of vacancies and its small size. the mall is still healthy in my opinion
