Kmart Restructures Fashion Arm; Promotes Smith, Keeble, Murasky

TROY, Mich. - Kmart Apparel Corp. president Glenn B. Smith has been promoted to executive vice president, merchandising, for Kmart Corp., as part of a restructuring of the discounter's fashion division.

Kmart also announced two other promotions, all effective Dec. 1. Donald W. Keeble was named senior vice president, general merchandise manager, fashions, reporting to Smith. Keeble had been senior vp, special projects.

Thomas F. Murasky, currently vice president and chief financial officer, was given the title of executive vp and cfo. He will be responsible for all Kmart information systems.

Smith will now be responsible for merchandising all the hard lines and fashions for the discounter. Also reporting to Smith will be William Underwood, senior vice president, general merchandise.

Smith's promotion follows an earlier announcement that Kmart Apparel would be renamed Kmart Fashions. The name change was part of the restructuring of the division which will now operate out of Kmart's corporate headquarters in Troy rather than as a separate entity that currently operates out of offices in North Bergen, N.J.

According to the company, the apparel distribution center will remain in the North Bergen facility, but the merchandising staff will begin the move back to Troy early in 1992.
