Last full-size Kmart in continental U.S. closes

On Sunday, the last full-size Kmart in the continental United States closed. The retail chain first opened in 1899 and officially changed its name to Kmart Corporation in the 1970s. By the following decade, there were more than 2,000 stores nationwide. The retail chain later fell victim to competition from Walmart, Target and eventually online giants like Amazon. Source
