I went to this location many times. It’s sad that the company is shutting down

That's really cool.

Something tells me you don't live around ninjas

Dudes in a 2million dollar home neighborhood wonders why his truck isnt stolen.... drive to ghetto n try that

Always wondered what happend thire

Near where I used to live like two blocks so many memories

Nice share

Great video

We would love to know if you ever come south ? Like south Texas or Corpus Chriti

So you just gonna just skip past that someone was killed there? How what happened? I just heard it will be a Jack in the Box.

RIP to The Arby's in Hickory Hills Illinois I pray to god that they don't close the Jewel Osco across the street or the Speedway Gas Station I'm going to be very upset

I just found out today that this Arby's permanently closed. This was my local Arby's back when I lived in Palos Hills and then I moved to Wisconsin a few months back. I was at this Arby's not too long ago back in May. I am upset they closed. Hopefully it will reopen. And I hope the Burger King right by this Arby's doesn't permanently close or else I will be very angry and sad.

Yup, this building was a Circuit City from before I can remember, probably the 70s/80s, until they went bankrupt. Apparently that area was at one point a bustling retail strip. The Great Recession hit the surrounding region HARD and it never fully recovered.

lol I read the reviews and this guy goes. the prices are a little steep and the beef tasted faked/processed. ummm does he not know arby is not real beef. lol

This mall has potential like you Said, there’s a million things this mall could be heck it could be another mall! But the village likely wants to destroy it and build housing.. standard America move. Destroy a perfectly good structure to build boring copy-paste houses on the corpse of good potential!

It needs to reopen

That eyesore us still up not demolished

You ask why doesn't the village use the mall as is. Primarily because malls aren't profitable any more. Look at nearly every mall around. The rents are so high it's not worth it to occupy one. Now I would agree that it was dumb for the village to take the property. At sometime a private entity owned it and that is when steps should have been taken.

I’m sorry to see Stratford go also. It is very costly to heat, plumb, air condition and provide electricity to that huge space. With the anchor stores out-of-business there is no draw. You are rather naive to think a simple tax break can keep small retailers open when there is no foot traffic except mall-walking seniors and teens with time to kill.

Low profit margin ,Shoplifting and high taxes are destroying America's retail base

Been to this Sam’s Club lots of times when I was a kid. I was sad to see it close on that day. Well, I'm over it now and 5 minutes away from that Sam's Club is a Costco. That Costco is where we do our shopping now.

Omg so cool

Although I was never a huge shopper of K Mart, it did serve a purpose. I do remember doing two bedrooms and a bath that were all coordinated with Martha Stewart "everyday" sheets, rugs, comforters, and towels. Not bad quality for the price either. The good old days...I would say it was 2001 or so. And, being the smart cookie that she is, the displays were beautiful and eye catching. That's when K Mart knew what they were doing.

They remodeled the one where I lived and added a Sears to it. About three to four years latter, it was shut down.

My dad used to work at the Toys “R” Us warehouse from 2014 to probably 2016

I live in Bridgeview! I went there until it closed

Kmart couldn't compete with Walmart and target

Hot and ready spaghetti

I go to the "experience " mall but I buy everything online. Yes maybe a overpriced ice cream and a pair of discount sandals at Marshalls.

The malls is huge.

I went to my first kmart and remember it was an eerie feeling.

Maybe Kmart locations were too closely located. All the ones by me became self storage centers. The Taco Bell in Kmart Plaza is still owned by TransformCo LLC. I blame Eddie Lampert for their failure. Did stock buy backs instead of reinvesting in their stores. He said they were never going to be a Bloomingdales. Kmart locations were Sears firewood in my opinion. Two S reears locations did reopen recently in CA & WA so maybe they will reopen locations because I hear they are sitting on 500 empty stores that no one wants to buy.

My dad brother and I had fun owning and running Cigar Emporium for 11 years before my dad retired. ‘04-‘15. Fellow store owners always looked for each other. Always interesting people coming and going. Even gave discounts to the construction guys building the movie theater back then on drinks and cigarillos. Miss our business.

If I had the money, I would turn the mall into a living quarters! Every store gets turned into an apartment/penthouse. Reopen the food court. More than enough parking for the renters and their visitors.

The only way Kmart(and Sears) would have survived longer would have been for Edward Lampert to have never gone near either of them.

50 years, not 50 decades. Maybe you meant 5 decades.

I had a store in that mall for 20 years. still believe it is a big mistake to demolish the Mall. The Mall is already there. all they need to do is just to sell it to Amazon that can move her store from Army Trail in to the Mall and make maybe a small warehouse from one of the department stores and invest some money in it to get stores back to the Mall. It is a beautiful Mall that got killed from bad management and too much opening hours that killed most of the business. All Malls MUST close one day a week and close on Holidays plus short the business hours. I am pretty sure this Mall will come back to life. we live in a cold city that required a closed shopping Mall esp. in the Winter and Christmas season. working with the same old thinking that Malls have to be open 11 hours is absolute wrong. Plus the Village has to stop allowing building Plazas around the Mall to kill it. It was a big mistake building that Plaza on Gary and Shick and the same for the Plaza where Best buy is. I am willing to come back and reopen my store there if they get more stores and security back to it.

old circuit city

Everyone of these old Kmart vids I swear I can smell that weird scent. Every store had that odor.

When I lived in the area we went to that Kmart I think there is only one store left in that little mall Dollar Tree !!!

Wait so it’s not fully demolished?

🎉Happy April Fool Day🎉

i have a batman movie poster i got from the local kmart. it was like a free promo

50 years not 500 years 🤣🤣

My local super k mart has been left untouched for 10+ years now. It seems NOBODY wants to buy the vacant real estate. I see so many possibilities but nobody wants to move anything. I'll end up buying it & doing something with it

Yes, we’re gonna miss it

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
