Kmart 9774

Kmart #9774 was a Kmart discount department store located at 1927 South Roan Street in Johnson City, Tennessee. The store opened November 18, 1982 and closed July 6, 1994. "The new store's interior is modeled after a format first developed in Indianapolis K-Marts in 1980. The color scheme is poppy red, gold and white with department labels along the walls. Shelves are somewhat higher to display more merchandise on the floor. More garments are hung on hanging displays to show the front of the clothing rather than just the shoulders, Kirk said. 'We want people to feel like we have an open, clear store environment where everything is easy to find.'" - Johnson City Press Chronicle, 11/17/82, Chronicler p. 4
