I seem to remember it being in the back of the store.. Crazy that that building is still there and the exterior is exactly the same..

Yep, it was in the back of the store at the old Florence Blvd. location. My mom worked at Kmart a few years and I used to ride my bike over there and she would take a break and buy us a coke. As i recall, it was more like a short order place where a lot of people would go eat.
Ahhhh....good times.

The burgers were great back then.
One great memorie from the old store is when it would rain they would drag garbage cans out to catch water. That roof had so many leaks.
The food was pretty good.
My Mom managed the cafeteria for a while in the late 70's.
And in the 70's.....was it just my imagination, or did the store have a much wider variety of merchandise than the present store?
Anyone else remember that they had a cashier and register in different departments, not just up front ?

I still remember the layout of that store, especially where the record department was. KMart was THE place to shop when I was little, and you could get anything you needed there. Remember the appliance department? My parents bought our first refrigerator with an ice maker there.
And for groceries we shopped at the Liberty grocery store near seven points.
When I was little I used to love to watch the cashiers push down those buttons and hit that big button to 'ring up' the sale. If anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, "Cashier."

my family shopped there too. thanks for a nice memory
SoI remember being in there with my parents and they had one of those little basketball goals right beside the cafeteria. We were shooting a few hoops and playing ball inside (yes my mom told me not to play ball in the house!) I remember shooting the ball and it bounced off the rim and over the wall and hitting a table where people were eating. We didn't take time to see who it was, we just took off running to find my parents and nobody ever knew who did it.
Oh by the way, if you were ever eating there and a small basketball came over the wall and hit your plate, I may be able to help you finf the culprit!
Sorry

My mother worked at Liberty Supermarket for awhile. I remember seeing those type cash registers at Wilson's Foods in North Florence. Then when they would total it, out would come your S&H Green Stamps out of that other little machine.

I remember those goals well and often used them,as you enter the store and go back towards the cafeteria facing there the goals were to the left,great times
Here's really going back....before it was K-mart it was Maxims or Maxums. Can't remember the spelling now. Those days were when your mom or dad let you stay in the toy department while they looked around.
I remember Maxums (or however it was spelled)
I also remember a deli in the front of Kmart
back in the 70"s. They had the best subs.

the Food was the only good thing about Kmart.. that and a certain troublesome employee who worked the register there during the mid to late 90's
Would you care to elaborate on the troublesome employee?
There's only one Kmart left in Huntsville, a sign that the company isn't all that anymore. It's on N Pkwy, is very dated/run down and gives you a fee of walking into the old Florence Kmart, before it moved.

A friend of mine. I won't elaborate further without his consent, but it was always funny to hear his stories about KMart.

Anyone remember Mr. Moon, the manager there for years? He was such a sweet man and good to his employees. He passed away a few years ago.
