Well, the ONLY K-Mart north of Washington Street in Indianapolis closed on May 10 (approximately), 2012. This was the K-Mart off 38th street and Pendleton Pike. Sears and K-Mart had to file for bankruptcy, leading to closures of the least successful branches. That particular K-Mart was targeted due to lagging electronics sales, but the other 4 K-Marts and all 3 Sears (even the one at Washington Square) came out OK. The Sears are at Washington Square Mall, Castleton Square Mall, and Greenwood Park Mall. The other 4 K-Marts are on West Washington Street by the airport, East Washington Street by I-465, Madison & Troy by U of I, and Emerson & Thompson by Ponderosa. But those are all on or south of Washington Street, which both explains why most north siders don’t know K-Mart still exists in Indy and also why I only go to K-Mart after work!
