Those locations went by the name "Super Kmart" rather than Super Kmart Center. There were two test locations in Kankakee, Illinois and Clinton, Iowa.

Without their supercenters, I don't even take them seriously as a retailer anymore. Walmart has Walmart Supercenters (3,470 as of March 31, 2016) and Target has Super Targets (239 as of September 2015), but what does Kmart have? 6 Super Kmart Centers which is going to drop to 2 by mid September 2016 and probably to 0 by 2017. They might as well just end the prolonged suffering and call it quits right now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375811463218753339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-18951036610206350172016-05-04T15:09:03.371-04:002016-05-04T15:09:03.371-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Boopity Bophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549033161578771168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-31434142036710677772016-04-22T16:04:19.917-04:002016-04-22T16:04:19.917-04:00Actually theread will be just two Super Kmart stor...Actually theread will be just two Super Kmart stores now; Mentor and Warren.

Both are supposedly going to Meijer. The one in Mentor was sold to Meijer and Kmart makes lease payments to Meijer there. Meijer has at least three waves planned for entering Northeastern Ohio; a 2017 one, a 2018 one, and a 2019. Lorain (a closing Super Kmart store) looks to be a 2017 wave store along with another Lorain County store in Avon. The third Lorain County Meijer store on the south side of Elyria looks to be a 2019 store. I am starting to think the Mentor and Warren stores (both current Super Kmarts) are 2018 stores, Macedonia / Northfield is a 2018 store. I know another Meijer is planned for North Canton but I don't know where in North Canton. It makes sense that Warren might have been pushed back a little since the other Youngstown area store they have planned, in Austintown by Walmart, is a 2018 store. Mentor is odd, I don't know of any other Meijer stores being planned on the east side of Cleveland that one would just be out on its own for a while.NickEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204643187244801996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-12040503291811900692016-04-22T13:35:38.435-04:002016-04-22T13:35:38.435-04:00Warren's is still there.
