Blaze engulfs vacant Kmart building on Lake Street in Minneapolis

A massive fire broke out at the vacant Kmart building on Lake Street in Minneapolis, causing the building's rear wall to partially collapse. Firefighters are battling the flames with two aerial water towers and working to prevent the fire from spreading inside the building. The area surrounding the site is closed, and utility workers are on standby. The future of the building, which has attracted squatters since Kmart's closure in 2020, has been a topic of debate, with construction expected to begin in 2025.

Massive Fire Engulfs Former Kmart Building in Northeast Portland

A four-alarm fire engulfed an abandoned Kmart building in Northeast Portland, spewing chunky ash across the neighborhood. Firefighters battled the blaze and expressed concerns about embers causing spot fires in the area. The building, known for attracting homeless people, had generated complaints from neighbors. Water supply was a challenge during firefighting efforts due to a lack of nearby hydrants. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and there are no known injuries. The building was slated for demolition to make way for a concrete freight warehouse, which has faced opposition from clean-air advocates and community members.

Outer Banks Target Draws Crowds for Grand Opening.

The Outer Banks Target opened its doors on Sunday with at least 500 shoppers lining up outside, some before dawn. The store occupies the same space in Kill Devil Hills that housed North Carolina's last Kmart, which closed in 2019. The new store covers 120,000 square feet, larger than most Targets, and features a CVS Pharmacy, a dedicated space for order pickup, and an Ulta Beauty section. The exterior of the store features a nod to the Outer Banks with siding on either side of the doors made from reclaimed local driftwood.
