The old abandoned K-Mart site in Herkimer, New York is getting new life. The lot that sat vacant on Route 5 since K-Mart closed in 2017 will soon have a number of new businesses.
The Herkimer Kmart will close it's doors this fall. The latest round of closings announced by the Sears Holding Co affects the Washington Street location.
Since the news has broken that both Gander Mountain and Kmart in New Hartford will be closing their doors soon, we started thinking of what could replace them.
Kmart has been struggling for a long time. Now not only are they slashing prices, they're slashing jobs, and closing stores. The Utica area Kmart will not be affected, but the list of those shutting down is extensive.
First came 'Ship My Pants.' Then it 'Big Gas Savings' and 'Show Your Joe.' Now K-mart is letting customers know they can ship their trousers. In time for the holidays, the cast of Scrooge is excited to 'Ship My Trousers.'
Kmart is following up their 'Ship My Pants' ad with their 'Big Gas Savings.' It's to promote a deal where you get thirty cents off a gallon of gasoline if you spend $50 or more. Clever or juvenile?
