Kmart #4460 was a Kmart discount department store located at 688 Hogan Road in Bangor, Maine. The store opened March 16, 1972 and closed March 2017.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
A Kmart on Hogan Road got a construction permit in 1970.[2]
A 92-acre field was sold for $250,000 to build the Kmart.[3] A sewer line to serve the Kmart was voted on by Bangor City Council in June of 1971.[4]
By July of 1971, the steel framework at the Kmart was already in place.[5]
A hearing was held by Bangor's Zoning Board of Appeals that September for Kmart's request to "erect more than the stated number of signs" on the Kmart.[6] They wished to erect 5 highway signs, and it was approved with some restrictions.[7]
The store opened on March 16, 1972.[8]
In December 2016, the store was announced to be closing in mid-April of 2017.[9]
A liquor store, Damon's Beverage and Redemption, opened in the space used by the former store in March 2022.[10]
