Company: K-Mart
Industry: Retail
Description: Kmart is a department-store chain and online retailer in the United States and its territories, now operated by Transformco. The company operates four remaining Kmart big-box department stores — three in the US Virgin Islands and one in Tamuning, Guam. A smaller location remains open in the former Garden Shop of its Kendale Lakes, Florida store.
The company was incorporated in 1899 as S.S. Kresge Corporation and renamed Kmart Corporation in 1977. At its peak in 1994, Kmart operated 2,486 stores globally, including 2,323 discount stores and Super Kmart Center locations in the United States. Once the second-largest retailer in the U.S. after Sears, the company has significantly downsized due to competition from Walmart and Target.
Career opportunities are now extremely limited given the company’s minimal current operations. Remaining positions may include store management, cashiers, customer service, loss prevention, and basic retail operations at the few remaining locations. The company also operates online retail operations requiring digital marketing and e-commerce professionals. (according to Wikipedia and the company).
