20 Years Ago Midland K-mart Closed For Good! What People Miss About K-Mart!
Back in 2002, it was announced that the K-Mart in Midland, Texas would be closing for good. It's been about 20 years! I can remember hitting up the K-mart on Midland Dr. in Midland so many times. Why do NACHOS jump in my mind? LOL
WHERE YOU A K-MART KID WHO GREW UP ON K-MART?
Yes, I was a K-Mart Kid! I was Team K-mart back in the day. My mom's #1 go-to was K-Mart. Enough said. The list of things that I owned because of K-Mart when I was a kid was long.
- My clothes!
- My shoes!
- My Fruit of the Loom Underwear!
- My toys!
- My School Supplies!
- And so much more...
K-MART SNACKS RULED!
As a kid, I have fond memories of the SNACK section near the cash registers. Wasn't there HAM SANDWICHES made with hamburger bread? I believe they were right next to the awesome huge Popcorn Machine and of course the ICEE machine! And, yes the NACHOS, why do Nachos keep popping up in my mind about K-mart?
WHAT DO PEOPLE MISS ABOUT K-MART?
On a recent K-Mart Facebook page here are comments about what people missed the most...Do you agree? What are your memories of the K-Mart here in Midland?
•Joe - The Blue Light Special. Lol at that time I was only 12 yrs old😂lol
•Lilie - love the socks and tops I would buy there
•Sarah - I've consumed many ICEEs and nachos during the holiday season while my mom shopped. Good times.
•Sara - Oh my gosh. I remember the little Horse carousel that would go round and round! Loved K-Mart in Midland!
•Fidel - Their fresh sandwiches they would sell!
•Lupe - The layaways were everything back in the day.
ANYBODY EVER DO THE K-MART PORTRAITS?
Look, back in the day you could do your portraits at SEARS or K-Mart? I'm sure we did some K-Mart portraits!
