Former Big Kmart


Former Big Kmart
3405 South Rainbow Blvb 
Las Vegas Nevada

I pass by this center that housed a old Big Kmart almost 5 times a week. I always wanted to write an article on this Kmart and that's why you are reading this. 

The Big Kmart started construction in 1983 as with the entire Center. Once the Center was completed in early 1984. The Big Kmart opened its doors on February 1984. The Big Kmart stayed opened thru construction of a walmart nearby in 1999. Once 2002 hit, Kmart announced that the store would close for good due to the ceiling was leaking. 

This Kmart did not do a liquidation sale. The products that were in the store was moved to a local Super Kmart on Eastern Ave in Henderson Nevada. After the Kmart closed its doors. The center started to have problems with tenates leaving to go across the street to the new walmart Center. 

The landlord tried to lease out the former Kmart after fixing the ceiling but no luck for years. 

In 2011 the Landlord put the Center for sale and as I write this today the center still sits empty other then Burger King which isn't own by the landlord or the Realtor. The Realtor Company calls this center Rainbow Dunes Centre

Here's some pics of the abandon Center other Then the Fairy Busy Burger King.



I will post more pictures soon of each stores. 

Stay Tune.....
