Blue Light Special?.............................

[RandallFlagg]

I hope it’s not a repeat of the Las Vegas concealed carrying in a CostCo incident from several years ago.

Suspicious white powder in the baby-care aisle?

[4yearlurker]

I'll wager a guess...backpack in the men's room.

[kingattax]

flash mob of nuns ?

[lee martell]

I know somebody who lives there. I guess we have to wait for more info. It’s not the kind of town many people ever think about. More known as part of today’s Rust Belt unfortunately.

[IronJack]

There were rumors that the store was being flooded in a tidal wave of second-rate junk and trashy merchandise.

[fulltlt]

It could be a case of swatting.

If these kids nowadays got a few swats they wouldn't be swatting.

Where is the Kmart in Bloomingdale? Didn’t know there was one.

[bigbob]

WLS: Resolved, expect store to re-open soon.

[Responsibility2nd]

WLS AM 890 just reporting that the Bloomingdale, IL K-Mart is being evacuated with a large police presence.

---

Hope the 13 bored employees and 9 disinterested shoppers made it out safely.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Why bother? Has been years since I’ve seen a Kmart that would NEED to be evacuated.

[The Cajun]

Was it because of a terrible smell, that's kind of normal ya know.

[Constitution Day]

Someone probably shipped their pants.

[IYAS9YAS]

K-Mart is being evacuated

Judging from the last few times I stopped in a K-Mart, how could you tell?

[vetvetdoug]

Monday afternoon our local Wal Mart was in a sort of lockdown. A swarm of bees decided to make a grocery cart in the main aisle their home. Really made grocery shopping a bit difficult for a little while.

Your thread is the only source reporting an evauation on the internet. Nothing else
is showing up from any source at this time. You have a first.

My daughter was born on Thanksgiving. We decided one year which happened to correspond to her Birthday to go to Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving dinner which was one of our worst experiences ever. We waited over an hour to get what we felt like was recycled food. We were then going to the movie “Dances with Wolves.” It was sold out. We decided to stop by K-mart with our teen age daughter and son and pick up some board games, meanwhile comparing ourselves to a popular TV show at the time. When we got separated in the store and a page for “Al and Peg Bundy” came over the intercom there was no doubt who it was.
