   Why did Kmart go out of business?

   • Sports Authority and Borders eventually went out of business after their own bankruptcies. Kmart filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002, when it had 2,100 stores. It was the largest US retailer bankruptcy at that time. But a disastrous merger with Sears in 2005 made the situation even worse.

   What happened to Sears & Kmart?

   • When the retailer emerged from bankruptcy it still had 231 Sears and 191 Kmart stores, but those were also almost all doomed. Today only a handful of Sears stores remain, as well. Now, the shuttering of the Long Island Kmart will close one more chapter in that merger.

   How did Kmart become a big box store?

   • The chain grew rapidly for several decades, claiming the discount segment of the market that big box stores now dominate. Kmart became known for its 15-minute-long “blue light specials”: A store would flash a blue light and announce “attention Kmart shoppers” over the public address system, and customers would rush to buy the discounted goods.

   What if Kmart closes in Miami?

   • When it closes, all that will be left is one smaller Kmart with limited items in Miami and a few stores in the US Virgin Islands and Guam, markets too small and remote for competitors like Walmart – or even Amazon – to bother with. The Bridgehampton store opened in 1999, taking the place of a former regional discount store, Caldor.
