The Kmart at 15200 E Colfax Ave is closing along with many others across the nation. Liquidation of store inventory will begin on Aug. 31, and the store will be vacated by the end of November.
I thought that Sears corporate would keep it open at least through Christmas. I previously predicted that it would close in early 2018. But no such luck. The Kmart at 200 W Belleview in Englewood is also closing. This leaves only one Kmart open in the Denver area, at 9881 W 58th Ave in Arvada.
Update: The Kmart in Arvada closed in September 2018.
