Attention, Kmart shoppers: the store is now closing -- for good!

The one-time retail giant known for its blue light specials is shuttering its last full-scale store in the mainland United States.

For years, the store has operated in the posh town of Bridgehampton. But with its closure, Kmart's legacy lives on in a small store down in Miami.

Since news broke last month of the Long Island location closure, shoppers have flocked to the store to take advantage of slashed prices.

"I'm not surprised, it's always this empty," Juliette Fayh, of East Hampton, had told NBC New York. "This is actually the most crowded I've seen it."

While thousands of Kmart stores have closed over the decades, the Bridgehampton store has managed to hang on. Shoppers say that's due to lack of competition in the area.
