Kmart, 1970s
In the 1970s, Kmart was the one-stop savings store for everything one could possibly need, from discounted food to clothing. It was well-known that the department store had amazing deals, but when the company introduced their blue light specials, they completely changed the savings game. From the moment the blue lights went on, shoppers had one hour to get extra savings on select merchandise.
At the peak of their sales campaign, it was close to impossible to find a time when the store wasn’t packed with people. Kmart was where everyone was at in the ‘70s.
