This is a yet incomplete guide to former Kmart stores in Texas and Louisiana, gathered from various sources, along with what they are today. I've tried to add store numbers and dates where I can (though they are very hard to find).
Closure List Before 1994
Kmart 1030 N University Dr Nacogdoches, TX
According to Groceteria Forums, this was from an era where the Kmart fit the town (sounds good to me) in the 1970s. Unfortunately, it closed before 1990. As a testament to how small the store was, it's now a Brookshire Brothers.
Closure List of 1994-1995 (First Wave)
Because these closed in a pre-Internet age, I doubt I can find ALL of these. I'll try to collect them sometime.
Kmart 2700 Texas Avenue S. College Station, TX 77840
Later a Big Lots and other stores and renovated as a strip center but many features remain intact. The original entrance section of the store is now Vista College, and the center is "College Station Shopping Plaza". See this link: College Station Shopping Plaza, for more. Kmart Foods alert!
Closure List 1995-2002
#7180 Kmart 3503 N.E. 24th Ave. Amarillo, TX
According to the article linked below (Amarillo Kmart), this closed in 1998 after open since spring 1979.
Closure List of 2000
Kmart 4902 Fredericksburg Rd. San Antonio TX
May or may not have been a Big Kmart. Now Graham Central Station.
Kmart St. Charles Plaza 12717 Hwy. 90 Luling LA
Appeared to be a 9000-series store, now one "Professional Learning Center".
Super Kmart 2800 S. MacArthur Dr. Alexandria LA
One of the first Super Kmart stores to close. It was later the home to "McKesson Automated Prescription Services (APS)" but the company was bought and the facility closed in 2007. McKesson did nothing to the exterior, however.
Closure List of March 2002
Texas
#9327 Big Kmart 111 Central Expressway N Allen TX
Despite the 9000 series number, this was built in the late 1990s (it's quite possible that it took the store number from an older store, which this one replaced). It's now "Stacy's Furniture".
#4885 Big Kmart 3730 Beltline Road Addison TX
Looks like it demolished and rebuilt as a Target, although it kept the same footprint.
#3772 Big Kmart 13749 N US HY 183 Ste 100 Austin TX
Burlington Coat Factory re-tenant. There's a lot more where that came from.
#7511 Big Kmart 6715 IH 35 South Austin TX
Also Burlington Coat Factory. Poor Austin.
#9607 Big Kmart 224 Borger Shopping Plaza Borger TX
STILL VACANT!! The "Big Kmart" facade is completely intact.
#7286 Big Kmart 3050 N. Josey Lane Carrollton TX
The Kmart of this Dallas suburb appears to be Harbor Freight Tools and Dollar Tree today.
#3636 Big Kmart 4701 Colleyville Blvd. Colleyville TX
A "Vineyards Antique Mall" from what I see. It looks like they gave it a nice brown re-paint.
#4908 Super Kmart 5001 S. Padre Island Dr Corpus Christi TX
A very small Super Kmart, apparently (the "Big Kmarts", like the one in Midland below, were much larger). Now Academy fully, unlike the Waco one.
#3718 Big Kmart 6000 Skillman Street Dallas TX
Now The Home Depot, with one very rare circumstance: The Home Depot kept the building completely intact, except for adding a tool pick-up overhang. Wow!
#4139 Big Kmart 9334 R L Thornton Fwy Dallas TX
Now "Mercado Garibaldi Bazaar". Because a mercado is kind of like a mini-mall/flea market (they have two in PlazAmericas), I'm guessing the other addresses here (Andrea's Furniture, for one) may be INSIDE the store. Anyway, as you can see, the Big Kmart facade is preserved. Picture originally from Yelp.
#3743 Big Kmart 715 Skyline Drive Duncanville TX
From what I can tell, it's been divided into two Mexican restaurants, one of which has excellent tortilla chips.
#3452 Big Kmart 4011 Alabama Street El Paso TX
Completely demolished in 2006-2008 for "Rosemont Canyons" (apartments). It looks like it might've had a (few?) temporary tenants after Kmart. There were a few cars in the parking lot circa 2005.
#3791 Big Kmart 5800 S. Hulen Street Fort Worth TX
Had the misfortune of being right next to a Wal-Mart. Today, that Wal-Mart is now a Supercenter, and the Kmart's pad is now a smaller strip mall and parking for said Supercenter. Ouch!
#7248 Big Kmart 5701 Broadway Blvd. Garland TX
"Bargain Town" maintains the storefront. Part of the parking lot was torn up circa 2007 for a gas station.
#3497 Big Kmart 4815 Hwy 6 N Houston TX
Now Track 21 indoor go-karts. Possibly may have been a grocery store prior to a Kmart.
#3647 Big Kmart 8230 Kirby Drive Houston TX
From left to right: Anna's Linens, PetSmart, Ross Dress for Less. The building is intact but has been restructured to remove the backside: you can clearly see the replaced concrete (look on Google Maps).
#3809 Big Kmart 17717 State Highway 249 Houston TX
From left to right: Golf Galaxy, REI, PetSmart. The building next to it has a Pier 1 Imports and a still-intact Circuit City.
#3844 Big Kmart 11542 Gulf Freeway Houston TX
Now a "Floor & Decor" outlet.
#3863 Big Kmart 310 FM 1960 Road West Houston TX
Now "America's Furniture Brands" which opened some time after 2006. LoopNet says it opened in 1993.
#3913 Big Kmart 8300 West Sam Houston Tollway Houston TX
They built a strip/mini-mall in front of the store. Today it's the mega-Asian market Viet Hoa International Foods.
#9390 Big Kmart 11110 Fondren Road Houston TX
From left to right, it became Citi Trends, "Modern City", Dollar Tree, Dots Fashions, and AutoZone. I get the feeling this isn't a very great part of town.
#4958 Super Kmart 9470 FM 1960 Bypass Humble TX
Redeveloped into Burlington Coat Factory and Academy. Academy looks like they rebuilt their side, or at least bumped out the facade.
#9552 Big Kmart 200 Sidney Baker S 1 Kerrville TX
The address points to the small River Hills Mall. Was Kmart an anchor here?
#3519 Big Kmart 340 N Midland Drive Midland TX
Another vacant specimen! This looks to be a rather large one, too. Roof is crumbling (visible in Google Earth), parking lot is in horrible shape, and the sign is rusted over.
#9576 Big Kmart 2445 North Main Street Paris TX
This is now an "Atwoods" Farm & Ranch supply store.
#4926 Super Kmart 1919 North Main Pearland TX
Torn down and rebuilt as Wal-Mart Supercenter in 2005. Sad but hardly surprising.
#7314 Big Kmart 4411 Olton Road Plainview TX
Store's still vacant, the parking lot is falling apart but the roof's still intact. The entrance is on the far left side--did this even open as a Kmart?
#4775 Big Kmart 3993 South Loop 306 San Angelo TX
Still vacant. Built in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
#3690 Big Kmart 7723 Guilbeau Road San Antonio TX
As expected, this has been divided into smaller stores. Big Lots takes the address and the center space, though other stores and services take up the space, even the garden center area. Stores include (list not all-inclusive) the Justice of the Peace, Pump It Up, and Dollar Tree.
#3948 Super Kmart 12300 San Pedro Avenue San Antonio TX
This is now "Northland Ford". Interestingly, the facade is completely intact!
#3904 Big Kmart 2745 Town Center Blvd. Sugar Land TX
I believe this was one of the "Venture" stores, one of the biggest mistakes Kmart made (because the Venture stores were small and lacked the Garden Center--and their fanciness amounted to nothing, since it would all be torn out for Big Kmart decor anyway!). Anyway, this one has gotten subdivided into stores like DSW and David's Bridal.
#4904 Super Kmart 6106 North Navarro Victoria TX
Torn down in 2006 and rebuilt as H-E-B Plus, which, if you know H-E-B, has both general merchandise and grocery, but not at all like a Super Kmart. No clothing, for instance...
#4346 Big Kmart 1701 S Cherry Lane White Settlement TX
Subdivided into Conn's and Academy.
Louisiana
#3652 Big Kmart 6900 Siegen Lane Baton Rouge LA
Now a Dollar Tree and a Big Lots.
#9796 Big Kmart 13982 West Main Street Cut Off LA
Now Burke's Outlet, but only in part of the store. Other than that, an untouched 9000-series store. Looking at the town of Cut Off, Louisiana, it's easy to see how it got that name.
#7599 Big Kmart 2714 W. Thomas Street Hammond LA
Hobby Lobby, Goodwill, and a few smaller stores. Hobby Lobby takes the majority of the space.
#3770 Big Kmart 108 West Airline Hwy LaPlace LA
Big Lots, Office Depot, and smaller stores are here now.
#7350 Big Kmart 124 James Comeaux Road Lafayette LA
Looks like was knocked down circa 2005, now home to a Residence Inn circa 2005.
#7386 Big Kmart 5990 Lapalco Blvd. Marrero LA
Still empty!
#3936 Big Kmart 305 S. Cities Service Hwy Sulphur LA
Knocked down for a Lowe's within a year or so of closing.
#7910 Big Kmart 1657 Saint Mary St. Thibodaux LA
The facade was renovated and it was turned into smaller stores.
Closure List of January 2003
Texas
I couldn't get store numbers for these (except the Waco one, by chance). If you can find them, why don't you tell us? One Kmart on the closure list, 4565 S 1st Street, managed to escape death. That's why it's not on this list.
Big Kmart 2747 Duniven Circle Amarillo TX 79109
My initial guess that this was a Kmart that opened in the 1960s was correct. This article reveals that it was remodeled in 1998 (it added on substantially to the front). It mentions that this store opened in 1962, making it one of the first Kmarts ever (almost certainly first in Texas).
Big Kmart 2610 Soncy Road Amarillo TX 79124
Former Venture that re-opened in 1998 as Big Kmart. THIS is why Kmart lost Texas folks, these stupid Venture stores! Looks like it's a Kohl's now.
Big Kmart 2540 East Pioneer Parkway Arlington TX 76010
Dollar Tree, Floor & Decor, and Alphagraphics Arlington Printing Services now. Located across the highway from the old Forum 303 Mall, it's a miracle that it survived this long (and anything survives here today).
Big Kmart 915 E Randol Mill Road Arlington TX 76011
Razed and replaced with an east-facing Wal-Mart Supercenter. It's a TINY one, though.
Big Kmart 4650 South Cooper Street Arlington TX 76017
Had a fully-enclosed (with skylight) garden center. Alas, it's been torn down--the Garden Center that is. It appeared to have an unusual roof, and is now expanded into a Home Depot.
Big Kmart 2506 West Parmer Lane Austin TX 78727
From left to right: Big Lots, Harbor Freight Tools, Dollar Tree, and Half-Price Books.
Big Kmart 104 Northwest Parkway Azle TX 76020
Garden Center in the front instead of the side. Still vacant today.
Big Kmart 12005 Elam Rd Balch Springs TX 75180
Looks like it may have had a Kmart Foods. Demolished, now The Home Depot
Big Kmart 3500 Garth Rd Baytown TX 77521
Gutted and rebuilt into "Joe V's Smart Shop", presumably after several years of vacancy. Notably, the Garden area was torn out and is now an empty patch.
Big Kmart 5845 Eastex Freeway Beaumont TX 77706
Now Gander Mountain. There's an adjacent storefront with a Big Kmart-esque facade, but there's strong evidence is it was a Kroger, likely a Superstore variant.
Big Kmart 877 North Alsbury Blvd Burleson TX 76028
Converted into a JCPenney, of all things!
Big Kmart 229 Fm 1382 Cedar Hill TX 75104
Conn's, Jo-Ann, and B&B Bicycles. It looks like it didn't last for more than a few years.
Big Kmart 230 South Loop 336 West Conroe TX 77304
Now "Conroe's Incredible Pizza Company"
Super Kmart 3621 W Highway 31 Corsicana TX 75110
The original picture and more information is located here (not mine). It was one of the first generation Super Kmarts with their "food court".
Big Kmart 712 Walton Walker Blvd Dallas TX 75211
Now "Super Fiesta Bazaar" indoor flea market. Looks to be a particularly ancient 1960s/1970s specimen.
Big Kmart 845 N Beckley De Soto TX 75115
Now "Scratch & Dent" furniture clearance store. It advertises as being the old Kmart building...
Big Kmart 2209 Avenue F Plaza Del Sol Mall Del Rio TX 78840
Big Kmart 2300 W University Denton TX 76201
Demolished for redevelopment for the area. Worth noting that said redevelopment never happened: there's ruins of an outlet mall of some sort that was actually never built.
Big Kmart 3540 Alta Mesa Blvd Fort Worth TX 76133
Big Kmart 6327 Steward Rd Galveston TX 77551
Now Ross and Marshalls. Supposedly this had a Kmart Foods (later Lewis & Coker) as well.
Big Kmart 3161 Broadway Boulevard Garland TX 75043
Later a Steve & Barry's University Sportswear, which has since closed when the chain went bankrupt.
Big Kmart 5222 Wesley St Greenville TX 75402
Now Atwoods Farm & Ranch. Appears to be a 9000-series store.
Super Kmart 4440 Twin City Highway Groves TX 77619
Still vacant. The parking lot is full of junk, though, and the building is for sale.
Big Kmart 3316 Denton Highway Haltom City TX 76117
Appears to be expanded later (classic 70's facade intact). This expansion later held a Steve & Barry's (briefly).
Big Kmart 1431 W 20th St Houston TX 77008
Now "Restaurant Depot", since 2005. An article at the time mentions it didn't take up all the space (though this may have changed). Awful location, too.
Big Kmart 3333 Telephone Street Houston TX 77023
Turned into a strip center with Melrose, Dollar Tree, and a few other stores
Big Kmart 10261 N Freeway Houston TX 77037
Big Kmart 5607 Uvalde Road Houston TX 77049
Home to the second location ever of "Joe V's Smart Shop"--the "deep discount grocery store" by H-E-B.
Super Kmart 8400 Westheimer Houston TX 77063
Demolished for The Home Depot and other junior anchors
Big Kmart 14411 Westheimer Road Houston TX 77077
Burlington Coat Factory now
Big Kmart 12005 Northwest Freeway Houston TX 77092
Now a Burlington Coat Factory, former Venture (likely opened 1998--Kmart, not Venture). No garden center.
Big Kmart 300 Meyerland Plaza Mall Houston TX 77096
Reopened as a Target, former Venture. Store mostly demolished and rebuilt. No garden center. Presumably opened in 1998.
Big Kmart 1405 W Pipeline Rd Hurst TX 76053
Expanded into "Market Street Village". Modern-day PDF here.
Big Kmart 3500 West Airport Freeway Irving TX 75062
Torn down for a Lowe's in 2004-2005.
Big Kmart 333 South Mason Katy TX 77450
Houston-based Fiesta Mart has taken up this Kmart, though I don't think all of it. Building's intact. Dollar Tree and another store are connected, but were NOT part of the old Kmart. Looks like it was a nice Kmart at the time. Information on the Fiesta Mart here.
Big Kmart 1050 Interstate Hwy 35 E New Braunfels TX 78130
Now a Kohl's
Big Kmart 2018 E 42nd St Odessa TX 79762
Bealls and Bob Mills Furniture today. It looks like it may have left a large stand-alone auto center, which is still vacant.
Big Kmart 5200 Fairmont Pkwy Pasadena TX 77505
Flattened and replaced with the parking lot for the Wal-Mart Supercenter.
Big Kmart 800 15th Street West Plano TX 75075
A Floor & Decor Outlet, much like the one on Gulf Freeway in Houston.
Super Kmart 28000 US 59 Rosenberg TX 77471
Slowly but surely starting to retenant...or not. On that subject, Internet records show that there was a Kmart at "5306 Avenue I, Rosenberg, TX", though it's turning up a CVS/pharmacy on a pad to small be a Kmart, the area is fairly new, and besides, it's not very far away from the Super Kmart anyway.
Big Kmart 315 S Santa Rosa Ave San Antonio TX 78207
An odd urban location, sits on one city block. Demolished, can still be seen at Google's 45¡ view. Now the Public Safety Headquarters of San Antonio.
Big Kmart 238 Military Dr Sw St 100 San Antonio TX 78221
Now smaller stores, including a "dd's Discount".
Big Kmart 2902 Goliad Rd San Antonio TX 78223
Anna's Linens, Big Lots, some vacant space (store turned into smaller shops)
Super Kmart 2015 Southwest Loop 410 San Antonio TX 78227
A tragedy: vacant, vandalized, and falling apart. Check Flickr for interior pics.
Super Kmart 11711 I-35 North San Antonio TX 78233
Still vacant, better maintained than it's Loop 410 counterpart.
Super Kmart 2701 Hwy 75 North Sherman TX 75090
Redeveloped into "Sherman Center". A part remains vacant, with a call center, Aspen Athletic Clubs, and Gander Mountain taking up the majority of the space. A recent Google search has Tuesday Morning with the address. Perhaps it filled in that last vacancy?
Big Kmart 3809 S General Bruce Dr Temple TX 76502
The store was mostly torn down for a new strip mall half the size (and creating a new sub-parking lot). The original parking lot is still intact (complete with lights) though some of it was taken out in a highway expansion. And interestingly, a Kmart still exists in sister city Killeen.
Big Kmart 3401 Palmer Highway Texas City TX 77590
This was originally Woolco, then Wal-Mart, then Venture, and then the Kmart (dunno if it's been demolished any of those times). Now it's a BP office. The Kmart apparently moved from an older location from across the street. (thanks, plumber2 of the HAIF)
Big Kmart 1909 E Southeast Loop 323 Tyler TX 75701
Hobby Lobby took over the right side of the store and expanded it slightly, about half the space remains vacant.
#4948 Super Kmart 200 North New Road Waco TX 76710
Academy has taken up the general merchandise section, and other tenants have set up around the Kmart (it became a shopping center, "Waco Plaza"). It also replaced a smaller location a little north of it, and opened in 1994. I found the store number, too!
Big Kmart 1001 Bay Area Boulevard Webster TX 77598
Subdivided into (left to right) Circuit City, Ashley Furniture HomeStore, and World Market. Obviously Circuit City is closed.
Super Kmart 1901 West Expressway 83 Weslaco TX 78596
Divided into smaller stores.
Big Kmart 3712 Call Field Road Wichita Falls TX 76308
Now "Kohl's Center", being a Kohl's department store and smaller stores facing Lawrence Road.
Louisiana
Super Kmart 2001 Millerville Road, Baton Rouge LA
Knocked down for a SuperTarget and a Best Buy.
Super Kmart 3300 Ambassador Caffery Parkway, Lafayette LA
Replaced by a Conn's, a "Burlington" (no "Coat Factory" anymore, apparently), and apparently a Baskin's. All this seems to have happened relatively recently.
Big Kmart 4700 Old Gentilly Road, New Orleans LA
A bizarre curved store, this later was Home Depot, which has since closed. The curved store was original--Kmart has been here in the curved store since 1986. Maybe longer.
Big Kmart 1704 E. 70th St., Shreveport LA
Now a Belk.
Big Kmart 9140 Mansfield Road, Shreveport LA
Appears to be be a former Kmart Foods-attached Kmart. Said allegedly former Kmart Foods is a Dollar Tree, the K itself is now (left to right) Stage, Fred's, and It's Fashion Metro.
Big Kmart 1311 Gause Blvd., Slidell LA
Mostly the Slidell Athletic Club, though there a few smaller stores it appears. A former 9xxx store? It's AWFULLY small (but still large enough).
Super Kmart 111 Constitution Drive, West Monroe LA
Now Academy Sports + Outdoors and an attached Bayou Bistro restaurant (which may or may not have been part of the original store). Part of the store, notably the solarium-like "food court" is still intact (vacant).
