Retail Look: Kmart- Bridgeview Illinois

After a long time of not posting on here for about 2 months, I thought I should get back and get some more on here. Kmart #4381 opened on November 12, 1970 and it is 98,100 Square Feet. I took these during a trip down to Oak Lawn and Orland Park. Bridgeview not being far from Oak Lawn I decided to come here. I'm certain on saying this is the worst Kmart I've been to yet. This store get updated last year to the blue signs and got the new Kmart logo back in 2011 but it feels severely outdated. It has the be from the building condition since it look outdated. It seem like most of Bridgeview seems effected by outdated feels. This Kmart is also connected to a Sears Outlet with is much more outdated and less room than the Kmart. It also dosen't have KFresh or a new customer service sign but it was busy anyway for a Saturday. I went to this store on May 12, 2018. Let's get to the pictures.
