Kmart to close its last full mainland US location after once holding prominent spot in retail world

Kmart is closing its last full-size store in the mainland U.S., marking the end of an era for the once-popular retailer. At its peak in the 90s, Kmart was a retail giant with celebrity endorsements and a strong presence in pop culture. However, it struggled to compete with rivals like Walmart and Amazon, leading to bankruptcy in 2002 and a problematic merger with Sears in 2005. Kmart's iconic blue light specials remain a part of its legacy. For more stories, check out Morning Brew Daily.
