Kmart is moving forward with the kind of determination
that would have made S.S. Kresge proud. The Company currently employs
more than 133,000 associates, a far cry from the staff of 18 first
employed at Kresge's five-and dime. They have a good business plan,
a strong core portfolio of stores, customer loyalty earned over
many years, and the will to succeed. As Kmart continues to operate
stores across the country, customers can be assured that their communities
will always have a broad selection of top-quality products at exceptional
values.
