Rise and Fall of Euclid Super Kmart 1200 Babbitt Rd

It's the Spring of 1995, and Euclid, Ohio already has a K-Mart. The one on Euclid avenue, up on the hill. The old Euclid Clarkin's. In January of 1995, Twin Valu shuttered it's hypermarket at 1200 Babbitt road, leaving almost 400 people without jobs.

Since then, the 180,000 square foot retail giant has sat vacant. City officials toy with the idea of rezoning the commercial property back to industrial use. Before Twin Valu erected it's warehouse like superstore, Addressograph Multigraph Company, a newly merged entity, opened it's plant on the site in 1932. AM International remained here until 1978, relocating to Los Angeles. The plant stayed open until October 1982.

Twin Valu Hypermarket in Euclid, Ohio 1990 & 2021

Like the Twin Valu Supermarket in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, the Euclid Twin Valu grocery store/department store hybrid, better known as the "Hypermarket" still stands. It has been a variety of things after Twin Valu closed, including a venue that some hoped would eclipse the IX Center and a Super K-mart. I should work on a Twin Valu history. I think I will!

In the meantime, please enjoy Euclid Twin Valu in 1990 and again in 2021.

Twin Valu Supercenter, 1990-ish.

Twin Valu, AKA Extra Space Storage, 2021.

So for now, our Twin Value is an Extra Space Storage. I love that the parking lot letter markers are still in place. Those guys are over 30 years old now!
