Message to Minority Owned Vendor Partners

At Kmart, we have a long-standing policy that minority businesses will be provided every opportunity to do business with Kmart. As part of that commitment, we are taking extra steps to make sure minority business owners are included in the bidding process for new products and services.

Our commitment is driven by our diverse store locations where we have a diverse customer base. It is our goal to give back to those communities we serve thru fostering mutually beneficial business partnerships.

We are partnering with DiversityBusiness.com to help us manage this process. Their nationwide database will allow us to contact minority owned businesses for our business needs thus allowing us to take a more proactive approach in expanding the diversity of our vendor resources.

Why should you participate?

We encourage you to register and maintain your company information on DiversityBusiness.com. Participating in this national business resource will:
  • Allow us to keep you informed of upcoming line reviews and reset schedules which will impact your specific product category
  • Allow us to easily search for qualified vendor candidates
  • Allow us to share your company information with other retailers
  • Allow us to send Kmart corporate communications to you promptly
  • Allow us to track your sales performance
  • Ensure our visibility to your company
The purpose and benefits mentioned above are only afforded to those that decide to participate in this process. Kmart will also ask all minority owned business partners to provide us with updated minority certification. Third party certification is necessary for us to establish integrity within our supplier diversity program.

How to participate

Go to the kmart.com website and click on the Vendor Resources link at the bottom of the home page. Complete and submit the business proposal. Then go to DiversityBusiness.com and register your company.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding your participation, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to developing a business partnership with you!
