Last pharmacy
Last Kmart pharmacy closed as per this link. Im unable to edit so can someone with an account, make this edit? https://newsfeed.wtjx.org/2025-09-18/kmart-pharmacy-in-tutu-park-mall-on-st-thomas-closes-customers-and-staff-transition-to-walgreens 174.213.162.28 (talk) 21:07, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- I honestly don't see a reason as to include this in the main article, so I won't edit. Sorry, Nihilist2345 (talk) 16:11, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- Any reason why not? Kmart had a significant pharmacy presense at 1 point so it seems relevant that the last location closed. Since you didn't edit it, maybe someone with editing privileges will. Seems the article is protected so I can't do it. ~2026-34171-05 (talk) 20:52, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
- I agree with user:Nihilist2345. I don't see any need to mention this in the article either. And for that matter, the claim that this was the last Kmart pharmacy is incorrect. According to the sources in our article all three of the remaining stores have pharmacies. Meters (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
- Check this source. It specifically mentions that this is the "last" kmart pharmacy that closed.
- Specifially: "On it was a letter signed by Dr. Aya Assebian and “The Grateful Staff of the Last Kmart Pharmacy Standing.”
- If y'all don't want to add it so be it, but to write that all 3 remaining Kmarts have pharmacies, is incorrect. There is no source that states that. This is the source regarding the final 1 closing: https://newsfeed.wtjx.org/2025-09-18/kmart-pharmacy-in-tutu-park-mall-on-st-thomas-closes-customers-and-staff-transition-to-walgreens ~2026-34171-05 (talk) 00:33, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- That seems to be a valid RS, stating the last location closed. Whether or not it's noteworthy (I find that it is), another story ~2026-34518-53 (talk) 11:38, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- Also from that source: “This is not the story of a sinking ship but of Turning Tides; which will be the beginning of a new chapter. As the Last Kmart Pharmacy closes its doors, our commitment to you continues.”Italic text ~2026-34171-05 (talk) 00:34, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- Lastly, I realize Reddit isn't a valid source, but to be clear, there are no pharmacies from Kmart remaining as of 2025: https://www.reddit.com/r/kmart/comments/1nlmdcs/rip_kmart_pharmacy_19622025/ ~2026-34171-05 (talk) 00:36, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
- I know what your source says. I read it when you added it to the article. Again,
According to the sources in our article all three of the remaining stores have pharmacies.
As of yesterday, our article's sources (the store finder) showed that there were still three open stores that had pharmacies. So, we have conflicting sources. For that matter, as I've already said, and as user:Nihilist2345 has said, there's no need to mention the last Kmart pharmacy in the article. Please drop this. Meters (talk) 19:45, 12 June 2026 (UTC)- I don't have to drop anything. Free country, I can write my opinion on the article, as you can. Do not Tell me what to do. Who are you?
- Store finder, LOL. That store finder at kmart's site, has not been accurate since the last Obama administration, lol. At least since 2015. Keep thinking there are 3 pharmacies, I couldn't care less. But as per the source, there are now zero. ~2026-34518-53 (talk) 13:22, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

Kmart Express
there are actually two seperate inititives named Kmart Express under Subsidaries, the second mall Kmart Express should also be included. ~2026-19724-5 (talk) 09:17, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
- The mall Kmart was just a single Kmart at Plaza Carolina, correct? --Super Goku V (talk) 10:15, 10 January 2026 (UTC)
- Absolutely. Please add it. ~2026-26194-0 (talk) 03:25, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
- I will currently decline given that it is a single location and that it is covered under the Operations in Puerto Rico sub-section with the text:
In 2011, the Kmart chain opened a new smaller store concept at 8,000 square-feet named "Kmart Express" at the Plaza Carolina shopping mall in Carolina, this was short lived.
Though, if someone else does believe that it should be done, then I am fine with that. --Super Goku V (talk) 06:42, 13 January 2026 (UTC)- I saw that, but I’d prefer it to be centralized with the subsidiaries as Kmart Dental and KWash were included, it should be added as a little ender to the Kmart Express Gas chain or seperate ~2026-26194-0 (talk) 03:43, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 17 August 2026
In the history section "2001: Final year before filling for bankruptcy" the address for the SuperCenter opened in Henderson, NV in 2001 is incorrect. It should be 10405 S Eastern Ave. Metroliner (talk) 21:51, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
