A department store that sells, among other items, notoriously
unfashionable/poor quality clothing. All clothing brands are licensed exclusively to K-Mart (i.e.
Route 66) and quite unsuccessfully attempt to mimic current trends.
Associated with a demographic that is either
low income, cheap by choice, or fashionably inept.
Example:
Popular Kid: "John's such a dork, saying those
lameass sneakers with no logo are real skate shoes. He probably got them at K-Mart."
Social Reject: "My mom's gonna take me to K-Mart tomorrow to get some cool t-shirts."
