When did the Kmart's on Broadway and Commerce close? (San Antonio: transfer, store)

[tag2292]

I'm creating a list of all Kmart locations in South Texas but I can't seem to find out when these two locations closed. If anyone can help out I'd appreciate it, thank you.

It was a couple blocks from Commerce, but in the mid 90's I remember seeing one from Market Square to the south on Santa Rosa. I was newly transferred, exploring downtown on foot and pleasantly surprised to see one that close to the city center. It was one of the last 5 that closed in early 2003 according to https://www.bizjournals.com/sananton...3/daily10.html
FWIW I don't remember any on Broadway since the mid 90s.

There was a Kmart on Broadway just outside 410. It was among the first locations to open when Kmart came to San Antonio circa 1977. Originally a Gulf Mart store dating back to about 1960, it became a Globe discount store after Gulf Mart closed, then Kmart took over. Kmart built a new store at Austin Hwy & 410 around 1980, and closed the Broadway store.

My truck was towed away from the KMART at 315 Santa Rosa Ave location many years ago which is the one I think you refer to as Commerce. They regularly towed vehicles trying to park downtown for free in the parking lot, I think there was a PicNic Foods next door.
