* Hey there!

Kmart 7424
Spreadsheet says it closed in 1995 while the page says 1994, is it true that it closed in 1995?
- Hey there! Side note just to make sure we are on the same page with this topic, the text in the Kmart 7424 article says the Kmart store closed in the early 90s, not 1994; 1994 was the year Sutherlands opened at the former Kmart. Kmart 7424 physically could not have even been present the entire year of 1995 as Sutherlands was present in and before the year 1995, therefore Kmart 7424 must have closed prior to 1995. 1) If you read the KGAB article on Sutherland's closing, it mentions that Sutherlands opened in 1994. 2) The 1994 Cheyenne City Directory (Polk) notes Sutherlands as present in 1994, which means this Kmart store must have closed no later than 1994. 3) The 1993 Cheyenne City Directory (Polk) lists the space as vacant, and the 1992 Cheyenne City Directory (Polk) lists the space as "Not Verified." I've done further research that indicates the Dell Range Kmart (store 3891) replaced both the Yellowstone Road Kmart (7424) and the Pershing Blvd Kmart (4413); this is according to information in archived newspapers from the time (referenced where appropriate in those articles). The 1991 Cheyenne City Directory (Polk) does list Kmart as present; it's likely the directory was published before the Dell Range store (3891) opened. I'm doing further research to see if I can verify in which year the store indeed closed, and possibly, whether there is any overlap between the old Yellowstone store (7424) and the new Dell Range store (3891). One could likely infer which year (and perhaps, which month) the Yellowstone road Kmart (7424) closed based on the history of the Dell Range Kmart (3891), but I'd rather have more fact, less inference. Side note, I have edited the text in Kmart 7424 as to hopefully avoid future confusion and make it clear Sutherlands opened in 1994 and not that the Kmart closed in 1994 as Kmart closed in the early 90s and no later than 1994.--TheOptopolis (talk) 20:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
