    Yes. I don’t personally, but know it’s cheap for clothing basics, especially for kids. It also has cheap homeware and small appliances. Not everyone can afford to buy expensive brands.

      Yep, I get all my kids clothes from kmart/target. No point getting expensive clothes when they’ll outgrow them anyway.

    There are many who live in shopping deserts where Target or Kmart may be their only choice for groceries.

    Perhaps people that buy lots of chocolate and confectionery? That’s the biggest theoretical demographic I can think of (my only other thought are people that buy new clothes and underwear rather than using a washing machine, but I don’t think that would be many).

  As an American reading the headline I was like how the hell is K Mart merging with anything besides a bankruptcy but I get how they might have had more recent success elsewhere

    KMart Australia, has absolutely no relation to KMart USA, it’s a ripoff.
    Exactly the same as Target now that we mention it.
