100 Pike St, Port Jervis, NY

Original Grocery Tenant: Great American Address: 100 Pike St, Port Jervis, NY Opened:  mid-1990s Closed:  late 1990s Previous Tenants:  WT Grant > Kmart (closed 1993) Later Tenants:  subdivided/non-grocery tenants Photographed:  February 3, 2021 Next to the Save-A-Lot we saw yesterday is this 46,000 square foot former WT Grant, later Kmart which ultimately relocated to Matamoras . For a brief period in the mid-1990s, the space was occupied by a Great American supermarket. It sat vacant until work began in 2015 on the renovation of the strip mall. These days, the space is occupied at least in part by a VA clinic. That's all for the city of Port Jervis itself, and up next we're headed northwest along the PA/NY border and the Delaware River for a couple days' worth of independent supermarkets. Our first is on The Independent Edition on Monday!

Memorabilia: Kmart Fan

I am not so interested in department stores or really any retail other than supermarkets. However, I know a good piece of retail history when I see it. This is a good piece of retail history. I'd bet that this item dates back to the 1970s, given its design and color scheme. The best part, however, can only be seen up close... Beautiful classic Kmart logo on the speed settings!
