re: #157 Dr Lizardo

We had a K-mart in Czech Republic, at least for a bit. It lasted from 1992 to 1996, only four years, and by the time I arrived in Prague, it was already a Tesco.

K-Mart evolved out of Kresge’s five-and-dime, the great competitor to Woolworth’s. They were almost nose-to-nose on 5th Ave in Pittsburgh. Kresge kept its old name and model until well after the ’60s.
