This week's chapter takes a break from the history and detours into the wonderful world of going out of business sales. Jacob is joined by former BSR general manger and second generation Kmart aficionado Brooke Forrest, to talk all things Pittsburgh, Kmart, and modern retail.

There is a name. A name that is scoffed at by some, and treated as a dinosaur by others, but that is recognizable to all. That name, is Kmart. From humble beginnings, to a showdown to be America’s number one retail chain, to a once unthinkable merger, to wild innovation schemes, and now to the struggle to survive in a new retail environment. It is easy to see Kmart as "Just a Grocery Store", but it is more than that. Kmart is a once ubiquitous retail giant whose own history is not just fascinating, but is deeply tied to the eras it spanned. Eras that may just have shaped us, as much as they shaped it. This week we focus on the birth of Sears and S.S. Kresge, and the retail revolution that followed.
