Fact check: Are there any K Marts on Puerto Rico?
1. Summary of the results
Yes, there are multiple Kmart stores operating in Puerto Rico as of 2025. The stores are spread across various municipalities including Hato Rey, Bayamon, Mayaguez, Rio Piedra [1], as well as Aguadilla, Vega Alta, Carolina, San Juan, Arecibo, San German, Guayama, and Trujillo Alto [2].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
It's important to note that while Kmart has largely disappeared from the mainland United States, Puerto Rico maintains a significant presence of these stores. The analyses confirm at least 12 different locations across the island [1] [2], making Puerto Rico one of the last strongholds of the Kmart brand. Multiple sources independently confirm these locations [1], suggesting the information is reliable.
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The simple yes/no nature of the original question understates the significant presence of Kmart in Puerto Rico. Someone might assume, given Kmart's decline in the mainland US, that Puerto Rico might have just one or two remaining stores. However, the reality shows a much more robust presence with stores spread across numerous municipalities throughout the island [1] [2]. This context is crucial for understanding the unique retail landscape in Puerto Rico, where Kmart continues to maintain a substantial presence despite its decline elsewhere.
The sources appear to be in agreement about the existence and locations of Kmart stores in Puerto Rico, with no apparent conflicting information or bias in the reporting of this factual information.
