Kmart to Close Last Full-Size Store in Continental U.S.

The Bridgehampton, New York location will shut its doors on October 20, leaving only a smaller store in Miami.

The Bridgehampton store's closure marks the end of Kmart's era as a major retail chain in the continental U.S.
Kmart's decline began in the late 1990s due to competition from Walmart, Target, and the rise of e-commerce.
After merging with Sears in 2005, both brands struggled and filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
Transformco, which acquired Kmart and Sears in 2019, has not commented on the store closure.
Kmart still operates a few stores in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, along with the smaller Miami location.
