1. It's the end of an era in Michigan. The state's last Kmart will be closing its doors in the fall.
The store is located in the city of Marshall, just east of Battle Creek. Store employees say they will be hiring temporary workers to help closeout. Its final day of operation will be sometime in November.
Michigan was the birthplace of Kmart. Its first store opened in Garden City in 1962. At one point, there were thousands of stores across the country.
By the end of this year, there will be less than two dozen Kmarts remaining in the U.S.
