From the time I learned to read, my grandmother’s use of K-Mark for K-Mart drove my crazy! I wanted to say Granma, that’s not the way to say it, but I was brought up to be polite and not correct my elders, so I just suffered in silence. Now I wish she was here to say it that way.

Around here, we have a local chain, Magic Mark, in addition to K-Mark and Wal-Mark.

I remember K-Mark! We had K-Mark in southern Illinois too.
