The first Kmart opened in 1962. In 1977, the S. S. Kresge Corporation changed its name to the Kmart Corporation. In 2005 Sears Holdings Corporation became the parent of Kmart and Sears, after Kmart bought Sears, and formed the new parent.

Harry Cunningham founded kmart in 1962. In the related links box below I posted the wikipedia article on Harry Cunningham. By all rights, it should be Sebastian S. Kresge since his stores literally change the company name to Kmart.

Kmart was founded by Sebastian S. Kresge, who opened the first Kmart store in 1962 in Garden City, Michigan. The store was initially part of Kresge's existing chain of five-and-dime stores. Kmart grew rapidly throughout the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a major player in the discount retail industry.
Before it became Kmart, the store was originally called "Kresge's," named after its founder, Sebastian S. Kresge. The first Kresge store was opened in 1899, and the company later rebranded to Kmart in 1962, reflecting a new focus on discount retailing.
The "K" in "K-Mart" comes from the company's founder, Sebastian Spering Kresge, who opened his first store in 1899. The stores were called "Kresge" until 1962 when they adopted the "K-Mart" name. Actually the first K-Mart opened in 1962, but most of the stores still carried the name S. S. Kresge Co. and were layed out like the traditional department stores, of their time, until the company was renamed to K-Mart Corporation in 1977.

The "five and ten" was another name for a "dime" store. This type of store used to be Kresge or Woolworth Stores. Those stores grew into Kmart, etc. Now, we have the "dollar" store, where many things cost more than a dollar.
