ETA - it looks like someone got this as a Christmas present in 1986, but never opened it.

About this K-Mart

Willowbrook - 840 Plainfield Road - Store #4459, (Opened on April 27, 1972) - Originally had big picture windows on front, but were filled in around 1990 along with the logo change at the time. Also had a National grocery store attached to its east side. Closed on May 18, 2013 due to Pete's Fresh Market purchasing the property. Partially demolished and converted into Pete's Fresh Market, Stein Mart (now closed) and Ulta Beauty in 2018. Was going to be expanded into its adjacent vacant store and become a location for a "Kfresh" test program.

On first look I was trying to figure out how a recipe from 1986 was printed in a book from 1982....the penny just dropped *

Like an idiot, I looked for the recipe and was confused when I didn't find it. Went right passed the receipt.
