Abandoned Kmart - Clinton Township, MI 

Boy do I miss Kmart!

I Grew Up With Kmart

Excellent video, Wallie. I'm from Brazil and I really appreciate your videos (I've practically watched them all, haha). I wish I had the chance to see a Kmart in person - I might even buy a Kmart shirt on eBay, but our government charges a 92% tax on the product (urgh!!!). Keep up with your great videos.

I love the Kmart ones❤❤❤😊

Show Kmart some love!!! Great video

In the heart of the city, where secrets abide, There's a figure named Wallie B, with eyes open wide. An urban explorer, a train watcher too, He seeks hidden wonders where few dare to pursue. With a camera in hand and a backpack of dreams, He roams through the darkness where history gleams. Abandoned stations and tunnels unknown, His passion for discovery forever has grown. Through the rust and decay, he finds beauty in age, In the stories of trains and their bygone stage. He captures their essence with a click and a sigh, As they rumble through history, reaching for the sky. Wallie B, a wanderer, a seeker of lore, Unearths forgotten places, and so much more. In the urban jungle, he finds his own way, A modern-day explorer, come what may. With every adventure, his spirit takes flight, Guided by the stars and the city's soft light. Wallie B, urban explorer, forever will be, A guardian of memories, for all to see.

Cool video

That Cosco truck looks like it is rubbing it in too that old Kmart as though it is saying, “Your model of selling items just couldn’t with stand our model of selling.”😂😉

That is so sad

That garden center looks like a scene from The walking Dead 5:07

This location was built in ‘70 so it would’ve originally had glass windows the entire length of the overhang roof. You can see the transition seam around 4:12. They started bricking up the full glass fronts on the original store design after the Kmart massacre in ‘85

Who else misses the blue strobe light?

😢

You should keep an infant in your glove box. Then when you come across a building like this one where there is only a small window, you could just strap a gopro on the kid and shove it through the window to crawl around and get footage.

I know a friend out there that has told me that they boarded up the windows only 1/4 of them were smashed by vandels 😔 The rest were in good condition I wish you a awesome day 😎🤘🫂

I enjoy watching all of your content on your RU-vid Channel Wallie! I really miss KMART. Here in Weirton, WV our KMART opened up in 1974 and closed in April 2017. We have Aldis and Big Lots in 2 sections of the former KMART. We have a pet shop that will be opening up in the near future, also in the former KMART next to Big Lots. So, at least business opened up in the former KMART store, providing jobs for people and not just sitting there rotting away. Weirton has alot of stores that went out of business that I miss shopping in. You're a great guy, Wallie. 👍👍👍

Hi Wallie, Back in the day when I used to work at the Kmart on Groesbeck Hwy and Cass in Mt. Clemens. I remember when this Kmart used to have windows in the front of the store. And I also remember when there was a Wrigley's Supermarket attached to the Kmart Building. After when Wrigley's Supermarket Closed Permanently and Kmart had broke the wall to the former Wrigley's Supermarket and extended the Kmart Store where Wrigley's Supermarket was in. The last thing I remember when Kmart Closed Permanently and a,Sear's Appliance Repair Store was in the former Kmart Store since Kmart and Sear's both merged. And I also remember Kmart's Store #1where Kmart first started in 1962when S.S.Kresge Company 5&10 cent stores owned Kmart. That Kmart Store was demolished for a LA FITNESS GYM in Garden City,where Kmart first started in 1962.

Wow 👌 awesome video

Awesome Wallie

great video

Garden/ prison center 😂

Man, I miss Kmart. I watched a video earlier showing the last Kmart in New Jersey is closing for good at the end of this month. 😢

I love those old school lights. The most notable one was attached to the side of the building at 9:40. Also, inside the auto centre looked better condition than the rest of the building.

Old kmarts always has awesome trucks train's collection in they yard.

Love it

That was really cool. Yeah at least we got a little bit of looks

Should stop in troy mi and see Kmart headquarters. Its being demolished now

This was my go to Kmart. I sure do miss it. Man that building is sure deteriorating fast.

Good video! Sad to see these old Kmart's that are falling apart! This place looks in pretty bad shape too!

I love it another Kmart how I miss them

As always great video. 👍

I miss my home Kmart. 😢

Another one for the books! Thanks Wallie!

G' Day Wallie I was surprise to see an abandoned K-mart after so many years still with its lights on you think that once they leave they get some one to cut off the electricity but some one is going to pay the electricity bill but a great video Wallie look forward to see you in the next video

I'm glad to see another Kmart video! Sad to see it all dead and empty. Great video!

Back in the day they used to have vending machines and horse rides out in front of the doors of that place. It was pretty cool.

Another store I grew up going to. You got two nice videos for the price of one the day you filmed this. The Kroger and Kmart were only a mile away from one another. Bought a lot of school clothes and other random crap from that Kmart.

This was a great kmart in its day.

Great video Wallie, hopefully if you travel up a hour away to port Huron there’s a Kmart there too that would be interesting to see you do one there

The K mart in my town became a tractor supply.

another awesome video

Looks like a good size k mart Pretty big Probably from the Early 70s Cool video, though.

I grew up with kmart as well. E have about of former kmarts here in the St. Louis area. Most of them are now an At Home furniture store. Depending on the area. Hey. Wallie. Come to the St. Louis area sometime. I know the At Home by my house in O'Fallon Missouri used to be a kmart. I'm a big fan and you are amazing my friend. I watch your videos and and you do great. Please come sometime🙏

Great video wallie thanks for sharing this one buddy :D

The garden center looks more vibrant and full of life than any time kmart was open.

WallieB just acted like that Costco trailer didn’t exist🤣

I remember when this location was closing. My dad bought so much useless stuff because it was so darn cheap. Also, Clinton Township isn't that bad of an area, I've lived here my whole life and honestly not a lot happens here, except for the explosion that happened very recently that was less than a mile away from this abandoned K-mart. For the most part though it's a fairly safe area. If you're in the Metro Detroit area you'll stay pretty safe if you stay north of 8 Mile Rd.

I remember being in this k-mart as a kid with my mom. I remember specifically one time, and I was very young, I had a red wing hat that was mine, I wore it in, but I for some reason took it off and left it on a shelf somewhere in the store and never saw it again. I remember crying on the way home because I lost it.

Omg I live super close there yay it’s a fine area lol I drive by there every day 😂

I wish I known you were in Michigan! My grandma Rose used to shop in this exact store back in 90 something before she passed away! I definitely miss this store. From what I heard there was a guy inside striping pipes and or electrical from inside. Absolutely blows me away too see you recording a building so close to me!

Closed 3-26-2017

Wallie, do you have a Pontiac Sunfire? Why did Kmart close? Was it because of Bankruptcy or just not 🚫 good management?

First

This Location Closed in July 2017.

What roads are these? Nevermind i know where this is. The harbor freight is right there.

How many of you remember toys r us?
