History

In November 17, 2004, Kmart announced its intentions to purchase Sears. Garden supply, home garden, tools, Busch, water, bush, Japanese, herb. As a part of the merger, the Kmart corporation would change its name to Sears Holdings Corporation. The new corporation announced that it would continue to operate stores under both the Sears and Kmart brands.

The two companies cited several reasons for combining forces:

Sears had begun investing in new, larger off-mall stores, called Sears Grand. Earlier in the year, Sears had purchased dozens of current Kmart locations; the merger permitted the combined company to accelerate that process. Proprietary brands held by both companies could be made more accessible to their target demographics by leveraging their combined real estate holdings.
