At its peak, Kmart was a national empire with over 2,400 US stores and a whopping $37 billion in annual revenue. Today, it has a mere three stores left – and one of them is based in Miami. As a result, you could say that Miami residents should be quite blessed to have a relic sitting on their doorstep.

This may come as a shock to some, who assumed that the store was long gone. However, it still remains and is located in the Kendale lake plaza shopping center. Having said this, looking at it from the outside, it does look to be on its knees and could do with a bit of care. Nonetheless, you may expect this considering it’s the last of a dying breed.

Interestingly, it turns out that Miami is a bit of a hotspot for old retail stores, as it also has a Sears in the city as well. However, don’t celebrate too soon. This Kmart doesn’t have a Little Caesars on site – which apparently got removed in 2018.

What’s also interesting about this store is that many locals remarked on driving past it while assuming it had closed years ago. As the yellow sign says, “We’re open, come on in!” which is literally the case. So, if you want to support Kmart or go visit as a nostalgic one-off then get down to Kendale lake plaza shopping center. Just don’t expect too much in the way of customer service – but then again Kmart was always like this!
