An aisle flanked by patio chairs, tables, and tool chests at the Kmart store in the Bridgehampton Commons shopping center in Bridgehampton, New York. The placement of massive amounts of patio chairs like this were typical of the way that items were displayed at this store, with large amounts of product on shelves filling much more space than one might see in other stores.
At the time that this photo was taken, this store was the last full-size Kmart operating in the continental US. The week after this visit, the store began a going-out-of-business sale, and would close permanently on October 20. A Target store is planned to open in the space in 2026.
