IronTiger Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Recently I've been wondering about Kmart. I know it was at the corner of the Texas and 2818, where TSC/Asian grocery is now...when did it close, again? 1996? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futuredeveloper85 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yes a do believe that time frame is correct, though it may have actually been a year or two sooner than that.More like 1993, I was in the third grade, and my classmates' mother worked there when it closed...

IronTiger Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm not going to drop exactly how old I am, but 1993 seems way too early for that. I'm still betting 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Well I remember going there as a child, and I think I remember it being a Big Lots towards the mid 90's or so, so I'll go with 1993.Actually it was MacFrugal's, right?

cardy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Did the K-Mart have a chicken buffet line? The one where the Frys/The dump/ Builders Square on I 45 @ West road did........ Edited March 19, 2009 by cardy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well, looks like I was kind of right after all: it announced closing in 1994, part of a 100-store closure.http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=u3sKAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BEsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3000,1657922&dq=kmart+college-stationIt must of closed for good that December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that.There, i gave him a preemptive +1 in case of sniper attack.But still.. I'm curious to know if there is a reason behind his one track mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Ha ha. I've always liked retail (and city) history. I don't like actually shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 I mean, I like the histories and such of Service Merchandise, Kmart, and Foley's. Their logos were pretty cool and will never rear their heads in Texas again (Kmart has since switched to a new logo). The last time I went to The Galleria was last March, Post Oak Mall, a few months before that. Memorial City Mall, March 2008. Manor East Mall, 2000. Greenspoint Mall, never. Town & Country Mall, never.And what exactly do you mean by one-track mind? I'm not stupid (you all have much higher educations than I do) but you shouldn't disregard my opinions (although I do make a fool of myself in debates).

august948 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Recently I've been wondering about Kmart. I know it was at the corner of the Texas and 2818, where TSC/Asian grocery is now...when did it close, again? 1996?That there is another Kmart that was turned into an asian grocery peaks my interest. I'm not familiar with the corner of Texas and 2818, but there was another Kmart at the corner of the West Beltway and Beachnut that was remodeled and expanded to be the Viet Hoa shopping center. The Kmart must have closed in 2000 or 2001 and looking at it today you wouldn't know that the building had once been a Kmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
