Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

So we going or what?
It was in the handle though, so that's a bit better?
Didn't realize K-mart was even still in business.
Where have you been buying your Ks?
I shop at S-Mart for all my letter-based shopping needs. I shop smart, at S-Mart
Groovy
You're buying K's? I only buy vowels.
Y?
Hopefully this means that when I search for Kmart items I'll finally only get Australian results for things I can actually buy, rather than stupid Google search results offering USA results, even when I tell it that I'm in Australia where Kmart is alive and well with apparently 301 stores in the country.
Here's an example of me searching for "kmart sandles" on "google.com.au"
Google will still find a way to fuck up.
Ever since it became about engagement rather than the right results, the writing was on the wall.
Fortunately this means that there are significant opportunities for search competition. The only thing you need to do is give better results than Google.
Just like all the search engines before Google, it too will become a footnote in the history of the internet.

It's true. Just ask Jeeves.
Add site:kmart.au to your search
Why the clickbait? Just put where it is in the title and save us a click
Because they need site traffic ad views to pay the electric bill.
I understand why the website did it, but not why op did it. Surely they don't get a cut of their ad traffic?
I was shocked when I found a legit s-mart in (the real) northern California, I'd always thought it was Sam Rami poking fun at k-mart. I haven't been past that particular store in 15 years, but I wouldn't be shocked at all to learn that it's still going. And that it survived k-mart, it's an interesting time we live in.
There used to be an S-Mart in southern California too, but it closed down. It was a Korean supermarket similar to H-mart.
let's not forget one of the best holiday ad campaigns in recent history was from Kmart.
may they ship their pants eternal in blue.
I bought my Dreamcast at Kmart
I remember when sears had a video game section.
Well ship.
Oh great, now Peace & Love, Inc. by Information Society is going to be totally dated. How is anyone going to know what "a blue light special on truth" means now, let alone why it's "the hottest thing with the youth."
K-Mart sucks, Ray.
So long Kmart. o7
