Kmart mulls next steps after bankruptcy filing
Kmart Corp filed for Chapter 11 in Detroit, aiming to salvage value from 2100 plus stores. Analysts say a clear plan to rebuild customer confidence is needed while evaluating store profitability and potentially closing up to 700 locations. The retailer has secured $2 billion in new financing and targets emergence in 2003. Martha Stewart Everyday products remain a major Kmart line, with Stewart’s brand rights continuing under court approval.
