Kuhn's-Big K
Not to be confused with Big Kmart.
Kuhn's-Big K, usually advertised as "Big K," was a large discount store chain in the Southeastern United States that merged with Wal-Mart in 1981[1] (locations in Charleston, SC and Myrtle Beach, SC were known as "Big-K Edwards" after Big K purchased the locally owned Edwards chain). It once comprised 119 stores. The company maintained headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
