Kmart is a chain of department stores in the United States. The chain merged with Sears in early 2005, creating the Sears Holdings Corporation. Kmart also exists in Australia and New Zealand as Kmart Australia, although it shares no current relation with the U.S. stores except in name.
Sebastian S. Kresge founded the S. S. Kresge Company, the predecessor of Kmart, in 1899 in Detroit, Michigan. Kresge's first retail establishment, a five-and-ten-cent store, resembled Woolworth's, a chain operated by Frank Woolworth. The store grew into a chain known as S. S. Kresge. It was incorporated in 1912, by which time it operated eighty-five stores.

It stands for "Kresge". The company used to be S.S. Kresge, a chain of discount stores that started in 1899. They started opening superstores under the K-Mart name in the 1960s, and eventually phased out the Kresge name.
