  • Abandoned Kmart - Nashville, TN. Enjoy a look at this location that closed several years ago. Once one of America's largest department store chains is now 99% extinct. With only a handful of Sears/Kmart stores left in existence, this company is on the brink of total extinction.

    This is at 530 Donelson Pike, Nashville, TN 37214, close to Elm Hill Pike. Used to love shopping in here and have some "Olan Mills" pictures taken. Also loved eating at that Sub Depot next door. Sad to see it like this, but thanks for the memories!

    There's an abandoned 1990s Kmart in Johnson City, TN that closed in 1994. There's ALSO an abandoned Kroger right next to it! You should explore it. The Kmart closed due to the brand new Supercenter that opened down town there. It's super cool.

    I used to eat at the Sub Depot frequently when I worked nearby. It always did great business, even after Kmart closed. I'm very sorry to see that they are no longer in business. The last few years of that particular Kmart was sad. The store was really run down & the interior was very dirty.

    This is the Kmart in Donelson, TN right next to Thomas Nelson Publishers, which is now Harper Collins Punlishers. I worked for Thomas Nelson about 22 years ago. I was there for 13 years. It was great to run over to Kmart on our lunch break and run errands, or just do some shopping! There was also a Piggly Wiggly grocery store next to it to the left, which is now a park and fly, which I guess belongs to the airport. Ruby Tuesday was also another great place to eat, and I noticed two or three weeks ago when I had to pick up my daughter from the airport, that the restaurant had shut down as well. Good memories of days gone by!

    Wallie you probably don’t know it but I collected a LOT of artifacts from that Kmart when it was open AND when it was closing. Including a price checker sign, a 5 gallon bucket, the “PHARMACY” and customer service signs, a trophy, a price gun, and a LOT more

    So sad. This is across the interstate from the airport on Donelson Pike. I worked at this Kmart in the late 70s to help get myself through college. it was a great part-time job. Next door used to be a grocery store that turned into a park and fly. Rumor is the entire property is going to the ground at some point and a hotel will be built on the land. The location is 530 Donelson Pike. Thanks for sharing,

We held a demonstration at this K-Mart to raise money for St. Judes Children's Hospital called "St. Judes Kick-athon" I broke my first board here!

    Our rural king where I once was employed was a Kmart. I had to quit due to my health in 08. Part of the tire shop was torn out and the pharmacy q few years ago to put pet food there. When I worked there there was stickers on some of the vents that said Kmart this is in clarksville tn. Our very first Kmart. The one on Madison Street is now Marshall's, Ross, Beals, and planet fitness, and the shoe rack. Our other one on Wilma Rudolph is now a at home store. Rural king still looks like a old Kmart for the most part other than a few things taken out. You should go check it out this is in clarksville tn

    I haven't been in a Kmart since 2003 (Houston area, where they completely pulled out of at the time) and it is just sad to see that they are pretty much extinct now. I hope these buildings get repurposed into something useful for the area, otherwise they will become victims of urban decay like the Ames you visited many years ago. I hope Eddie Lampert is proud of what he's done 🤬🤬
