In July of that year, the stores in <a href="/wiki/Vega_Baja,_Puerto_Rico" title="Vega Baja, Puerto Rico">Vega Baja</a>, Bayamón (Plaza Río Hondo), Caguas (Rafael Cordero Avenue) and Trujillo Alto would also be converted. Meanwhile, in August of that year, they planned to open the Big Kmart in Vega Alta at a cost of $10 million, and in November they would inaugurate the two-level store in Plaza Las Américas, which would be the chain's largest store on the Island with 144,000 square-feet of space.<a href="#cite_note-210">[210]</a> Between 2002 and 2003, three Kmart stores on the island closed due to the bankruptcy, one in <a href="/wiki/Humacao,_Puerto_Rico" title="Humacao, Puerto Rico">Humacao</a> in 2002, one in 2003 at the Juncos Plaza shopping center in <a href="/wiki/Juncos,_Puerto_Rico" title="Juncos, Puerto Rico">Juncos</a>, and another store in Cayey that same year.<a href="#cite_note-211">[211]</a><a href="#cite_note-212">[212]</a> In 2011, the Kmart chain opened a new smaller store concept at 8,000 square-feet named “Kmart Express” at the <a href="/wiki/Plaza_Carolina" title="Plaza Carolina">Plaza Carolina</a> shopping mall in Carolina, this was short lived.<a href="#cite_note-213">[213]</a> Through the 2010s and beyond the Kmart chain began to downsize in Puerto Rico with various closures.
