The 125-year-old retailer has closed hundreds of stores in recent years to improve its bottom line. And the Kmart that I go to at the area often dubbed as 'the other side of The Grove' is currently having a closing down sale.
This is where my aunt buys her regular supply of supplies, including brands like Safeguard, Folgers Coffee, and electronics.
But having shoes and a line of clothes as its main pieces of merchandise, it will be very difficult for Kmart to compete with Ross, which is a fully stocked discount store just beside it and WholeFoods and CVS eating up its market share in toiletries and grocery items.
Together with Kmart, the 55-year-old Andre’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, which has served generations of Angelenos with heaping plates of spaghetti and other Italian-American classics, would also be closing because developer Ira Smedra alerted the Mid City West Community Council’s Planning and Land Use Committee about future plans for a 26-story residential tower where Kmart and Andre’s Pizza currently sit. The plans include renovations to Whole Foods, CVS Pharmacy, Citibank, and the and parking lots on the corner of Fairfax and 3rd Street.
