It's still up as of 05/03/2024. Only the east side of the Plaza has been demolished. This Plaza was built in 1977. It was a very nice Plaza for a l9ng time. When the Tornado hit it around 2007/2008 it went down hill from that point on.
They did the same thing where I lived many years ago. There was a Venture and a vintage Kmart in the town I grew up in. The Venture closed and became a Big Kmart. The vintage one became a Value City Department Store. Then Value City went out of business and it has stood vacant for years. Then Kmart started its descent and it is now a Dollar Tree.
This is the first time that I have watched one of your videos. Awesome job and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I loved to shop at Kmart and I really miss them.
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
Oh my gosh, you too?! At my local Kmart, there was always swarms of seagulls just hanging out. It's so bizarre! What about Kmart that just attracts seagulls? 🤣
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.

That little ceasers was some of the best I ever had
Looks like a former Venture because of the exterior and the road sign.

Probably just a matter of time before Southlake Mall in Merrillville Closes. Then you'll get a chance to document that one!

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 !!!
Once you enter you can never leave.

My first apartment in 2017-18 was right down the street from here, that little Caesars was comically bad lol

Yeah anything that costs money they do not bother spending it.
