Retailing To-do: | edit | history | watch | purge Here are some tasks you can do: Copyedit: Target Corporation, Wal-Mart - to be used as an examples for ideal page structure Cleanup: T.J. Maxx reads like advert; see talk page discussion Expand: Store manager, List of articles on project page, image gallery on project page, Hypermarket (history section), Category killer - This is very US/Canada centric - Ikea exists elsewhere, too. Stubs: Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Archer Farms, ClearRx Other: Department store - discriminate between itself and Discount store. Category killer - If a Category Killer dominates its area, why are there many stores listed per category? There should be clear criteria for when a store is included, otherwise this just becomes an advertising page.

[edit] Redirect from Kress

Folks I am going to remove the redirect here from 'Kress'. There is a governor in Russia with the same name. Rather than clutter up your page with a link to that page page, I am going to put in a disambiguation page for both this article and the Victor Kress article.Montco 22:38, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I believe that if you will check, the K Marts were NOT an outgrouwth of the S. H. Kress Company, they were the outgrowth of the S. S. Kresge stores. The Chairman of the Board and Acting President of S. H. Kress (William B. Sutherland) resigned in 1959 or 1960 because Kress would NOT move their stores from downtown to the suburbs in the mart style. Kresge then did when they learned of the concept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.19.39.42 (talk) 13:44, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
