The event was commemorated by the newly formed Sears Holdings Corp. ringing the Opening Bell at NASDAQ’s MarketSite in Times Square. Sears Holdings Corporation unites two powerful brands, Kmart and Sears. Kmart has been a NASDAQ-listed company since 2003 and Sears was listed on the New York Stock Exchange for 95 years.
“Sears and Kmart are two of the great iconic American companies, and true to their status they have embraced new ways of thinking,” said Bob Greifeld, president and CEO of The NASDAQ Stock Market. “We look forward to partnering with Sears Holdings as it moves forward and continues to make history. By listing on NASDAQ today, it joins some of the most innovative retailers in the world.”
