Rural king store will soon replace Kmart building
SUMMARY: The old K-Mart building in Columbus, Mississippi, is set to become a Rural King outdoor superstore, following the city council’s approval of a $2 million tax incentive over ten years. Rural King sells a variety of products including firearms and lawn supplies. Mayor Keith Gaskin anticipates the store will generate new revenue, create about 60 jobs, and enhance the local economy by attracting shoppers from outside the Golden Triangle. This will be Rural King’s first location in Mississippi, with renovations expected to complete by late 2026 or early 2027, reviving a long-vacant space.
