For information about Kmart and Sears prior to their merger, see Kmart and Sears, Roebuck and Company.

Sears Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SHLD) is the fourth largest retailer in the United States, behind Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, and Kroger [1]. It was formed in 2005 with the purchase of Sears, Roebuck and Company of Hoffman Estates, Illinois by Kmart Holdings Corporation of Troy, Michigan.

The company operates 3,800 retail locations under the mastheads of Sears, Sears Grand, Sears Hardware, Big Kmart, Super Kmart, The Great Indoors, Orchard Supply Hardware, and Lands' End stores.

The company maintains its corporate headquarters in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

History

In November 17, 2004, Kmart announced its intentions to purchase Sears. Office Furniture. 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.
