The SandPaper recently reported the Manahawkin Kmart is slated to close by September.

That shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone who has shopped at the store in the past couple of years. Many times it seemed as if there were more employees than customers, and the store was far from overstaffed. Meanwhile, anybody who follows the news knows that Sears Holding, Kmart’s parent company, has been busy closing both Sears and Kmart stores all across the country this year.
