Manager gives emotional farewell during final closing of local Kmart

MCMURRAY, Pa. — The Kmart near Donaldson's Crossroads in Washington County closed this week.

Now, the manager's emotional farewell is getting a lot of attention.

"I'm taking this opportunity not to sell you 40-cent plaid skirts or 5-cent panties, but to thank you for supporting a lifetime of memories."

Joshua Englert, 34, says he worked at the store since he was 16 years old.

Kmart parent company Sears is closing dozens of stores nationwide, including Kmarts in Pleasant Hills, New Kensington and Etna soon.

This week, Sears also filed for bankruptcy.
