Kmart (sometimes stylized as K mart or kmart) is an American chain of discount department stores headquartered in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, United States. The chain purchased Sears for $11 billion in 2005, forming a new corporation under the name Sears Holdings Corporation. The company was founded in 1962 and is the third largest discount store chain in the world, behind Walmart and Target, with stores in the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam (which houses the world's largest Kmart). It also used to operate stores in Canada, Mexico, and Eastern Europe. As of February 13, 2016, the company operated a total of 962 Kmart stores. In 2013 it had operated 1,221 in 49 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including 1,196 discount stores, averaging 94,000 sq ft (8,700 m2), and 25 Super Centers, averaging 168,000 sq ft (15,600 m2).
Kmart became known for its "Blue Light Specials" and K car sales. 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, while announcing the discounted special over the store's public address system. At the height of Kmart's popularity, the phrase "Attention Kmart shoppers!" entered into the American pop psyche, appearing in films and other media such as Troop Beverly Hills, Six Days Seven Nights, Rain Man, Beetlejuice, Madea Goes to Jail and Dawn of the Dead.
The future of Kmart doesn't look bright. This video tells how Kmart got where they are today, their current situation, and my predictions for the future of the company.

Today's Vlog Video we found a Big Kmart near me. We went toured a Vintage Kmart/ Big Kmart Store from the 1990s. It was a throwback to childhood in real life. Very Nostalgic from the "in store music" and 2016 commercials. It was Christmas, there was Layaway all year around though, history of old IBM computers you better haul yourself to this location is not closing anytime soon.

In 1998, Kmart had a limited test concept at selected stores called "Kmart Solutions". Keep in mind that back in 1998, very few people used the Internet for online purchases, let alone banking, and filing taxes. This was before the dot com crash, and online retailing was in its infancy. Most people were also on dialup connections, where this was a high speed connection. Kmart at the time attempted to be ahead of the curve by providing touch screen terminals at the service desk (electronics department also had one terminal) to purchase selected high end appliances and electronics, as well as flowers and other items that Kmart did not carry within the store. The system lasted maybe 2 years, as I recall. Many people browsed, but few actually purchased anything. I think this occurred fo...

Camerado, see that cloud across the sun
There ain't too many places left to run
There was a time when we'd go anywhere the wind would blow
Camerado
Camerado, they are fencing off the plains
I hate to hear the whistle of the train
The next thing you know they want your pistol and your tobacco
Camerado
Got a piece of a '44 on fire in my chest
Out here on the mesa I will rest
If you can hand me down that whiskey from my saddle bag
Camerado
Now the light is dying in the sky
That ain't gonna bother you or I
Seen enough to die, almost know all that there is to know
Camerado
Now you had best lie down and ride
There's pretty women on the other side
??? you'll be free as air in Mexico
Camerado
