 PROFILE
Attention Kmart shoppers: Kmart is the #2 discount retailer in the US, behind Wal-Mart. The company sells name-brand and private-label general merchandise (including its popular Martha Stewart Everyday label and Route 66 clothing), primarily to low- and mid-income families in more than 2,100 discount stores (including more than 100 Super Kmart Centers) in all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands and online through BlueLight.com (of which it owns 60%). Kmart's diversification into specialty retailing brought it close to bankruptcy, but the company has shed its excess and is emulating archrival Wal-Mart by offering groceries (a full line in its Super Kmarts) and an expanded selection of merchandise.
