- Kresge formed the Kresge Five-and-Dime stores in the early 1900s. He had worked at Woolworth's Five-and-Dime. After that, in 1912, he formed the S. S. Kresge Company. In 1962, the first Kmart opened. Kresge died four years later. Kmart became really popular in the 70s. After that, it fell because of competition with Walmart and Target. So in the 90s, they bought Borders, Payless Drug, OfficeMax and the Sports Authority. This did not prove succesful, so everything was spun off. Sears merged with Kmart in 2005, after Kmart went bankrupt in 2004. Kmart is now part of Sears Holdings Corporation.
- K-Mart now has a joint partnership with Sears.

- Kmart is a chain of stores that became an inside joke during Episode 254.
- Kmart (founded 1969) is a discount store to be in Bathurst Mall.
- Kmart is a shitty run down establishment on the verge of bankruptcy that is a favorite orgy spot for gay faggots. The only people who shop at Kmart are gay, and anyone else who goes inside Kmart are confused people who think they're at WalMart, old farts, stupid lesbians who go to Kmart as an extreme sport, and screaming shitcorns of children who have no supervision to go to a better place. Kmart is Drew Pickles' favorite establishment because he has an exhibitionism fetish, and since Kmart is a public place for gay faggots, he can have gay orgies in Kmart with no one trying to stop hip and fulfill his exhibitionism fetish. Drew owns Kmart store signs, Kmart shirts, Kmart music, Kmart gift cards, Kmart hats, and Kmart dildis (that's not a joke, Kmart actually sells dildis online).
- In 1915, Karl Marx, for unknown reasons, sold his buisness to Kelski, a Polish buisness tycoon. Kmart became known for its "blue light specials'. At surprise moments, a store worker would attach a mobile police light to the top of his squad car and escort a randomly chosen shoplifter out of the store. Most workers who did this were addicted to crack, and used their undercover status to acquire illicit drugs from K-mart shoppers. The phrase "code 44D in aisle 12" also entered into the American pop psyche. The meaning behind the K-mart code has never been cracked, but was featured in the Tony-winning 1988 musical Fountainhead Earth, in which John Travolta and Forest Whitaker both famously exclaim, "Kmart is the answer!"

- In 1915, Karl Marx, for unknown reasons, sold his buisness to Kelski, a Polish buisness tycoon. Kmart became known for its "blue light specials'. At surprise moments, a store worker would attach a mobile police light to the top of his squad car and escort a randomly chosen shoplifter out of the store. Most workers who did this were addicted to crack, and used their undercover status to acquire illicit drugs from K-mart shoppers. The phrase "code 44D in aisle 12" also entered into the American pop psyche. The meaning behind the K-mart code has never been cracked, but was featured in the Tony-winning 1988 musical Fountainhead Earth, in which John Travolta and Forest Whitaker both famously exclaim, "Kmart is the answer!" During the 1970s, Kmart put a number of competing retailers out of business. In 1977, The Karl Marx Corporation changed its name to Kmart Corporation. In 1987, Kmart Corporation sold its remaining Karl's Big Nut Ball Compendium stores to John-boy Walton. In 1990 Kmart was almost put out of business by John-boy Walton and his chain of Walmart stores. Martha Stewart was able to prevent the collapse of communism in America by providing a rich supply of baked pies which kept Kmart from going into bankruptcy. K mart is a place where you can get really shitty junk for an even shittier price. In June 2007, Kmart struck a workforce deal with Vampire Americans. This was to ensure that Kmart will never run low on associates and good ones at that. This is been suggested since vampires can handle customers better, and drain them for their energy so that the vampire never gets tired, despite those long work weeks of upto 30 to 40 hours per week even on a part-time job. This relationship has gone unhindered until October 2007, when Target announced that they will be willing to pay an extra 75 cents an hour to all vampires that transfer from Kmart to Target. Now the race is on to see if Kmart will fight back and try to raise payrolls and benefits to keep their prized workforce.
