http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs .dll/article?AID=/20060620/NEW S99/60620002 Kmart is auctioning and selling off all its artwork, plus corporate memorabilia. Hopefully a museum or library archives in the metro area can get hold of some of the memorabilia, instead of it being stashed into private collections and/or sold on eBay. |

"Kmart sold its headquarters building to Madison Marquette last year. The firm plans to demolish Kmart’s building and redevelop it into a mixed-use project." Where's the uproar??? |

Interesting news. IMO, KMart has always been a first class operation and to have the news revealed concerning the artwork collection does not surprise me. Sure, KMart is a discount retailer, but it is so far above most discount operations. I think communities appreciate KMart. A KMart where I live recently turned into a Sears Essentials store and I don't go there anymore. Booooo Eddie Lampert ... (Message edited by HYSTERIA on June 20, 2006) |
