Not quite.
The holding company will be called Sears Holding Co. and a lot of the people on the board will be K Mart people. They will keep their own names as far as the actual stores are concerned.
This is undoubtedly a move to have more buying power against jackasshole Walmart. I would think this would make them bigger than Target, but I guess not (they are probably counting Mervyn's and the other non-Target things Target owns).
