Eight Michigan Kmarts, including the one in Van Buren Township, will be closing before Christmas this year.
Others, including Clio, Midland, Oscoda, Grayling, Hastings, Menominee, and Marine City also will permanently shut their doors by mid-December.
The Kmart on Rawsonville Road has posted a sign that it is no longer accepting layaways. Liquidation sales will begin in mid-September, with store closing by mid-December, according to the company statement issued Saturday.

I loved shopping there when I lived in Van Buren Township for many years and miss what was- many good memories !
Sad to see this go. Was a fun place to go when I was growing up in Belleville. I agree with Pat, many good memories!
I LOVE KMART STORES. I USE TO DRIVE TO SHOP FROM TAYLOR, MI…ON MY WAY TO U of M Dr appointments. My Taylor as well as ALL other downriver locations closed a few years ago. My sister still had a Kmart that we enjoyed shopping at in Oscoda, Mi. This along with the closing of Sears and All of the brands that I have come to count on through the years…is a hard blow to the way America built the great department store legacy.
Such a shame that people don’t go out to shop anymore. People buying online…so, hard to understand. There’s nothing like feeling and touching something before u buy it. My Dad had a great relationship with ALL sales staff, in every department store. Brick and mortar….a lost art.
