About Kmart:
Kmart (sometimes
styled as "K-Mart") is a chain
of discount department stores in the United States, Puerto Rico,
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The chain
acquired Sears in 2005,
forming a new corporation under the name Sears Holdings Corporation. Kmart also exists in Australia and New Zealand (see Kmart Australia), although it now has no relation to the American stores except in name, after U.S. equity
in the Australian business was purchased in the late 1970s. Kmart is the third largest discount store chain in the world, behind Wal-Mart and Target; all three chains were founded in 1962.
As of January 30, 2010, Kmart
operated a total of 1,327 (13 closing by late May) Kmart stores across 49 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. This store count included 1,361 discount stores, averaging
92,000 sq ft (8,500 m2), and 29 Super Centers, averaging 165,000 sq ft (15,300 m2).[1 ]
Kmart's world headquarters were
located inTroy, Michigan, in a sprawling complex which, since
Kmart's relocation to Illinois, has been slated for demolition.[2 ] However, at this
current time, no actual demolition efforts are underway, and the proposed mixed-use complex
the Pavilions of Troy, slated for the site has not begun
construction due to issues with funding.[3 ]
Kmart became known for its "Blue Light Specials". They occurred
at surprise moments when a store worker would light up a mobile police light and offer a discount in a specific
department of the store. At the height of Kmart's popularity, the phrase "attention Kmart shoppers"
alsoentered into the American pop psyche, appearing in films and other media
such as Troop Beverly Hills, Six Days Seven Nights, and Beetlejuice.
According to MoviePlacement.com, the K Mart brand was also mentioned in 80's films such as Rain Man, Ruthless People, and Black Rain, but not in a positive
light.
