DO YOU REMEMBER?

On March 1, 1962, in Garden City, Michigan, the first Kmart opened its doors to the public. Founded by Sebastian S. Kresge, and famous for its “Blue Light Specials,” this discount department store chain would become a familiar sight in most large towns through the 70s and 80s. Today, there are far fewer Kmart locations than during their heyday, but that doesn’t mean the memories have faded.And for good measure, here’s a rip-roarin’ television ad from the same time period. Hope you have your dancing shoes on!
