The store in Blythe was closed a few months ago...it’ is a wonder why Wal Mart hasn’t entered this isolated town

Apparently the list above is an old list.

I always found it strange Walmart didn't enter Blythe. Shopko isn't prevalent in the Southwest so Walmart would be the only real discounter option.

The problem with Blythe is that it only has a population of about 20,000 that has been in a slow decline for over a decade. There really isn't much of an upside to opening there.

The Phoenix Sears Store that is closing is in Metro Center, which at the time it opened in 1974 had 5 department stores and was the largest mall in the Southwest

The Kmart I mentioned at 122nd & Sandy in Portland made the list, no surprise. Also, the Sears at Tacoma Mall.

It also looks like Kmart is exiting Hawaii as the last Kmart in Hawaii made the list.

Thought this was worth noting. This Kmart in the Virgin Islands was completely gutted and remodeled following hurricane Irma. Now if they could only try something like this in the rest of the chain there could be a chance of surviving....
