Kmart #4973 was a Super Kmart Center discount department store located at 8400 Westheimer Road in Houston, Texas. The store opened on June 26, 1995, followed by a formal grand opening ceremony on June 29.[1] In 2002, the store's parking lot would be the site of a controversial drag racing raid, in which hundreds of innocent people were arrested by Houston police, despite the fact that no racing was taking place.[2] The store ultimately closed on April 13, 2003,[3] and would eventually be demolished for The Home Depot 6558, and a small strip mall anchored by PetSmart 1611 and Guitar Center 442.[4]
