Attention, Kmart shoppers, the end is near!

The erstwhile retail giant renowned for its Blue Light Specials โ€” featuring a flashing blue orb affixed to a pole enticing shoppers to a flash sale โ€” is shuttering its last full-scale store in mainland United States.

The store, located in swank Bridgehampton, New York, on Long Island, is slated to close Oct. 20, according to Denise Rivera, an employee who answered the phone at the store late Monday. The manager wasn't available, she said.

That will leave only a small Kmart store in Miami. It has a handful of stores in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
