This month Kmart turned 40 and AMPR were onboard to help them celebrate the special occasion.
We held a morning tea at Kmart Burwood (‘K1’), where Kmart began as Australia’s first discount retailer back in 1969.
Kmart’s Managing Director, Guy Russo, spoke to past and present employees and customers who had travelled far and wide to join in the celebrations. He was also joined by Helen Harris, Mayor of the City of Whitehorse and Keith Rooney, then Mayor of Nunawading who ‘cut the ribbon’ at the Kmart Burwood in 1969.
Special thanks go to Rod Stebbins, Kmart Burwood’s Store Manager from 1969 who flew down with his wife Estelle from Tweed Heads and had more than a few good stories to share. Things have definitely changed since then but it seems Kmart is still providing customers with great quality products at great value.
