 PROFILE
Want to shop after Kmart's closed? BlueLight.com leaves the light on for you. The discount e-retailer offers electronics, food, health and beauty aids, jewelry, toys, office goods, and other items. Named after discounter Kmart's "blue light" specials -- blue lights signal sales -- BlueLight.com also offers cheap computers and Internet service (one of the nation's largest ISPs, it offers three tiers of service, including free unlimited Internet access for users who buy online). BlueLight.com was formed in December 1999 by Kmart, which owns 60% of the company and has offered to buy the rest. Other investors include Japanese investment firm SOFTBANK, Internet portal Yahoo!, and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
