SUMMARY: Kmart shoppers face the end of an era as the last full-size Kmart in the continental U.S. closes its doors in Bridgehampton, New York.

This closure marks the conclusion of Kmart’s long-standing presence in American retail history.

Kmart, the former retail giant renowned for its Blue Light Specials — featuring a flashing blue orb affixed to a pole enticing shoppers to a flash sale — is shuttering its last full-scale store Sunday in the mainland United States.
