Kmart Downsize, Astor Place, Manhattan, NY
Coming this week is the continuing evolution of the Astor Place Kmart in Manhattan. No, this Kmart is **NOT** closing, but it is losing one of its 3 floors in a downsizing. It also is receiving something I haven't seen at ANY Kmart in way too long--a new floor. (preview of the new floor is above)
One year ago, this 154,000 sq. ft. Kmart was operating with the red Kmart decor of the early 2010's. Last summer (2017), the store received the newest blue Kmart decor package on all 3 levels, so I was surprised to hear that the 3rd level would be vacated, but it happened extremely quickly following Christmas, 2017.
Over the next few weeks, I will post first the old store, on all 3 levels, followed by the sparkly new blue decor (on 3 levels).
Lastly will come the pics of the downsizing and the new floor....and maybe a few sneaky pics of the emptied space which will become future Facebook offices.
