I actually miss Kmart. I'm a 90s Kmart kid. I remember my childhood Kmart very well. Kmart had really cool toys that Walmart never had.

Great video Wallie. I'm glad you were able to find and use some of my photos as well. This was my K-Mart growing up. I remember the Christmas layaways, getting my fair share of Traxx shoes, and hiding cassette tapes in the toy department until i had the ten dollars i needed to buy them. Thank you for the birthday shout out. Hope you feel better soon.

Was just thinking the blue light specials and the eatery wow I sure do miss the Kmart and Hills loved their pretzels lol

Summer colds are the WORST! 😪🤧. Which goes to show you that germs cause colds, not the weather!

Attention K-Mart Shoppers. The Blue Light is canceled 😞

I drive by here every morning going to work. I miss Kmart and I hope something good goes in there.

That Kmart looks like a place that survivors would hide out in in a zombie apocalypse movie.

I lived in Parkersburg in the late seventies and this Kmart was up and running. Sad to see it gone and falling into disrepair like that. Hope something goes in soon. Loved my time living there. Great people! 🙏🏻❤️

Fellow Pittsburgh resident. I had a medical issue, and on the way to Urgent Care, my car's A/C failed. And then Urgent Care sent me to the ER, so got to even more driving, with no A/C, sweating waterfalls, and, of course, very sick. Definitely one of the more miserable experiences I ever had. The hospital staff almost seemed surprised I was sweating and feeling dehydrated by the time I got there.

I love your videos i love seeing abandoned kmart

From what I remember apparently before this Kmart was here there was a house which was owned by a family and some teenage girl set it on fire and locked the family in there while they were all asleep Which is the reason why it's haunted

Cool to see people visiting this location. I actually started working there about a month or two before they announced the closure, and was kept on until a few days after it shut down to help tear down fixtures and clean things up. It was a weird first retail job, but honestly once that closure was announced everyone took on kind of an "eh, whatever" attitude that made it pretty fun to work at. Wish I'd taken more photos along the way. This video made me realize, I never once had to go behind the store for any reason, so I've never actually seen what it's like back there until now haha. I know some people were getting in, I talked to Dan Bell years ago and he had gotten inside the store somehow. So I'm guessing enough people were doing that to cause the welding lol.

Ghost hunting in abandoned buildings would be an awesome video idea especially for Halloween!

Thanks for introducing me to another Waterfront Dining gem!

on June 8th 1969, that Kmart was an old house which a young 15 years old girl, who set the house on fire in that same spot where the current Kmart is, i think there was her sibilngs and her parents when they slept at night, yes she she burned the house with them in and she was the only survivor also when this Kmart was still in business, empolyess said that they hear something very strange in the speakers where they play music from 80's and other type of music because there is a video from Nation Decay about this location which you can take a look at, his video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKqGh8KYx9e7gac.html

You really should start the ghost hunting stuff! I think that would be really cool for your channel! And I can’t believe they welded every known entrance shut😂

Kudos to your KZfaq Channel, Wallie! I've heard that the Parkersburg abandoned Kmart is haunted. I've had personal experiences with the paranormal. I've been to the Moundsville Penitentiary on ghost hunts and I had heard footsteps, voices, and various other things that I couldn't debunk.

I remember when I was little I used to stay at my grandma she used to take me to the same exact Kmart The customer service was very poor I don't remember ever witnessing any paranormal stuff but I can remember walking through there The nostalgia just hits me now to see it in just such decay makes me very sad. That specific Kmart opened in 1970 a a few years after a house burnt down that used to sit there I think 10 people lost that lives that day it was a 1967 I think I remember hearing my grandpa tell me that story a lot

A house use to be there and a fire happend to the house in 1969 and killed 12 people and people say they heard voices over the speakers and things fell off shelves and more.

Glad You are feeling better

Speaking of Kmarts, a Kmart was closed in Grand Central Avenue and replaced with two stores a few years later. And while I'm on the subject of Grand Central Avenue, an old TJ Maxx building that's next to a Sportsman's that's empty. According to the news, they moved a few years ago. It was where Sears was. The Sears got demolished and replaced with 4 stores and TJ Maxx is one of them. Grand Central Avenue is not too far from Parkersburg, right in the Vienna area, I believe.

That Kmart reminding me of a scene from The walking Dead the way it was all boarded up and welded up

I just watched a video that someone did of the last Kmart somewhere in New York. It is really nice and fully stocked.

I used to live super close to here, i went shopping here a bunch as a kid!!! I don’t go over to that side of parkersburg much anymore unfortunately. I do miss it though.

First hope your doing well love you and your videos me and my fiance are big fans of yours have a blessed day or night 😊

What amazing video I miss my Kmart 😢 lots lots of good memories miss that layaway and blue light 💡 special I used to work at Kmart 2007-2009 😢 I can’t wait for the next one 😊

Another great video! I miss K-mart! This one does look it could be out of a horror movie!

Wow a old Kmart 😕 video

Thanks for sharing. Please go get hydrated and cool down. Awesome pics

Those images of the final dying days is always sad to see 😔

My grandma would drive mom crazy carrying back things to return to "K-Marts" as she called it all the time. Lol...Thats neat at 10:44ish the wind was picked up like howling in an old 3story house! Oh and yeah do the ghostie hunts WB! :)

Awesome Wall

0:34 Actually from my understanding according to the Kmart spreadsheet from Reschultzed this location closed in March 2017 so its been closed for about 7 years now

I remember working on the HVAC on this exact location. So much retail has gone away. Other places Blockbuster, Sears, Holywood video, many more. All I use to do was national accounts. Now industrial.

I miss Kmart so much

There actually are an abandoned toys are us in Rome Georgia. Wall, if ur in Rome, Georgia, check out that place. And it is still standing to this day

How did the shoney’s hold up better for at least 17 years, but this Kmart is the creepiest place after only 8

Abandoned Kmart is Really good popular requests from good name brand it's seen a better days over there that's a bummer.

Awesome love it wallie

Wow brings back memories, I did a video on this abandoned location years ago as well as one on the location just down the road in Vienna, though I think something moved into that one

Awesome video I hate summer cold s I hope you feel better

The holding company actually owns that property the fact that sears kmart owned all their stores real estate is one of the assets that kept them afloat for so long

This is my town 😆

😂😂😂 they look like a modern day Wal-Mart buggy

I saw this one coming!

There is an abandoned Burger King in Rocky Top TN that has been abandoned for 15+ years and abandoned longer than street view.

I use to go to this very K mart to get all my games I miss this K mart

Its really weird that no one in my city has bought this big building for something.

Awesome video! This is the first video I have watched this summer, it was great! That Kmart is creepy and though I don’t believe in like creepy scary ghosts there could be some spirits in there. Also fireworks are great , and with this heatwave we have been having (105 degrees plus) they have started some really bad wildfires and we are dealing with smoke on top of heat.

Our local Kmart got turned into a big lots/doctors office

I was the first to give it a thumbs up 👍

There is an abandoned Kmart in cudahy Wisconsin. Been abandoned for about 20 years. Lights are still on.

I live in Parkersburg West Virginia about time they do something with it it's been abandoned for a long time but I live close to that Kmart I know they need to do something with it before the homeless people break in

Hey wallie. Absolutely obsessed with the creepy stuff.

Nice

A family was murdered by their daughter and son back in 1969 on the spot where Kmart now stands its a very tragic story

Glad you're feeling better 😊

Waterfront Dining has really great music

The photos at the end.....😪

There's a bunch of orange cones keeping cars away from the front of this building lately so I figure they are still working on it.

I enjoy exploring and ghost hunting. I have the spirit box and k2 meter. I’ve also been to the West Virginia penitentiary but my favorite location is Trans Allegheny lunatic asylum in Weston, West Virginia…it’s been in the upper 90s a lot here in Maryland. Can’t stand the heat..

As always great video 👍

there is an abandoned super kmart near me that is owned by a ford dealer. its called northside ford in san antonio texas

Excellent video Wallie. What was the name of the song 🎶? Got an instant wave of nostalgia and want to add it to my playlist.

One of the top worst things Kmart ever did was to get involved with Sears. I remember K-mart from the late 60's and early 70's and it was a great experience going there but they totally went downhill after Sears became involved.

Kmart paid the price for not staying current & trying to get by on reputation. It became a very bland chain.

I used to fill prescriptions at this store

The breeze was probably from a K-hole in the K-roof of that Kmart and if there are ghosts they're probably K-board!😂

Sounds promising lol

Our Kmart eventually became a Rural King.

First view wallieb26

I miss Kmart 😢 I use to remember the store saying but I can't remember it to save my life

Our old k mart became a rural king

It’s toasty in New York if you don’t get a breeze 😗

There was one by where Applebees restaurant that Kmart is now I trying to remember the name of it

Looks alot like the garbage heights kmart

the big indian is up above, he still stands where a church use too be, in the red building

I'm little surprise that Kroger hasn't move yet, because lot of Kroger's are going to lot bigger size buildings, so makes me wonder what's with that, because it looks like that Kroger could easily could turn that Kmart building into Kroger Marketplace, but I don't know it would happen or not, but they could if they wanted too.

That’s an old K-Mart. You can see where they widened the doors for wheelchair access at some point. I always tend to get colds in the summer as well. Seems so backward, doesn’t it?

7:42 Who'd they get to weld that? Ronnie Milsap?

They are redoing it for a tractor sales place

Hey there WallieB26 I hope that a dollar general takes this over and brings it back to life or hope that this would become a Walmart neighborhood market

Film a Rocky horror show there😊

Sad to see.😒

MY guess another Ollie's Bargain Outlet

The Haunted Kmart

Is the Vienna Mall still an active mall or is it becoming dead like so many others 🤔

Kmart in Medina going to be meyers and brunswick that became a marcs the one in Middleburg became a cleveland clinic medical office

I would build a hotel and a shopping 🛍 mall. If I was an architect would would buy that property.

Here a little early

Looking old

We are in July of 2024 and you’re still finding Kmarts

This Kmart closed in 2016.

What song is that?

😭

who is the song by?🔥

😃😄😀
