I find that hard to believe - after all, where are you going to find a KMart that hasn't closed down yet?
Getting harder to find in North Carolina - nearest ones now are Clemmons and Raleigh - just lost the last store here in Greensboro about 3 years ago, which sadly died a slow death.

I'm in Kannapolis and the closest one is (was?) in South Concord. It has either already closed down or is closing really, really soon. I hardly ever go there so I'm not sure.

According to the Kmart web site, the only stores in that part of NC are in Asheville (2) one in Salisbury and one in Clemmons.
Not sure if Shelby is anywhere near you but there is one listed for that town as well. Most of the others are east of me (I'm in Greensboro.)
I also recently heard that a spokesperson for Sears told the press that the company could be looking at bankruptcy this year sometime. Wouldn't be surprised as their sales have slid for years now.

East side store closed about 10 yearsago.
West side store hung on and lasted until about 18 months ago when their land lease (along with every other business on that whole plot of land except one business) got bought out by the local world known football team for stadium district extranvaganza mega complex tourist project.

We've got two of 'em, one's right down the road from my street. Don't much care for it; a lot of the merch is obviously cheap crap. The shoes look like they'd fall apart after about 2 months. The only department I like is the housewares one; it's small, but the quality is still pretty decent for what you pay for it.
Don't know how much traffic it really gets, though. The only time their parking lot was ever really full was when the local Italian Festival took place a block or so away every summer, and now that that's moving to another location in the city, I don't expect to ever see the Kmart parking lot that full again.
I refused to shop at the one in Beaverton, Oregon after the cashier asked, very sarcastically and loud enough for the whole store to hear, "What's the matter? Didn't pay your bill?" when the machine declined the first credit card I used. I have no idea why it declined that first card, and the other card I used went through just fine. While I'm not one of those who takes immediate offense if something strange happens and my credit card is declined, I thought the cashier's remark was very poor customer service.

I did buy a pair of shoes from the one near my house once, and that's pretty much what happened. I had a few pairs of jeans that decided to rip along the seams as well.
