Harry Cunningham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Cunningham (born 1907 in Pennsylvania — died 1992) was an American businessman and retailer who founded Kmart in 1962, a firm that was previously known as S. S. Kresge. Cunningham had a vision to convert the retail chain into a discounter. He worked at Kmart from 1959 to 1972. Cunningham was credited by Sam Walton as being the first to design a discount store. Walton added that Cunningham should be remembered as one of the leading retailers of all time. [1]
