** Hey, as the creator of the spreadsheet, I'm glad this has been brought to my attention. Would you happen to have access to wyomingnewspapers.org? It seems like that would have the Cheyenne newspapers, which would probably help to narrow down if not confirm the closing date, but it seems like you need a card from a Wyoming library to see any of the results. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 17:22, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
** P.S. here's what I can find as of right now. According to an ad in the Scottsbluff Star-Herald, which was recently digitized, Sutherlands held its grand opening in the former Kmart in July 1994: [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/141115172/] There was a Pay 'n Pak bankruptcy auction at the same address in September 1992 (would this be the smaller space to the north that is now SMART Sports Medicine?): [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/141115445/] Also, while I can't see the contents of the Wyoming Eagle and Wyoming State Tribune, I can see the dates that certain phrases appear in there. Searching for "5221 Yellowstone" tells me that, aside from a few scattered results in the mid-70s, that address started regularly showing up in the papers in June 1981 and then suddenly stopped in September 1992. Then no results at all during 1993 (might just be that they haven't digitized anything from 1993, though) and you start getting results again in April 1994 (presumably Sutherlands preparing to open). So, based on that, I would think the Kmart most likely closed in 1992, and I've updated the spreadsheet to reflect that. -[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 17:41, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
