MCMURRAY, Pa. – The emotional farewell of a manager at the closure of a Kmart store in Washington County is attracting a lot of attention online.

Joshua Englert, 34, recorded a video of his last farewell at Kmart near Donaldson Junction. Englert said that he had been working for the company for 18 years, starting at the age of 16.

"I wanted to take this opportunity not to sell you 40-centimeter check skirts or 5-cent knickers, but rather to thank you for giving you a lifetime of memories," Englert explains in the video. "I am the man I am today because of the people I met here at Kmart."

Englert told Yahoo Lifestyle that he was often the first to announce special blue light promotions on the sound system.

"I thought the team would appreciate sentimentality," Englert told Yahoo Lifestyle. "I did not expect to be moved, but when I typed it, I knew it would happen."

Kmart's parent company, Sears, closes dozens of stores across the country. This week, Sears also filed for bankruptcy.
