Have you ever stopped to think about what the 'K' in Kmart stands for?
Well, officially, it doesn't stand for anything.
However, the U.S. company's founder was named Sebastian Spering Kresge... So it's thought that, unofficially, the letter "K" could represent the founder, who opened two different department stores beforeKmart was officially born.
So we have ol' mate Sebastian to thank for our chic looking home furnishings at bargain prices.
