NEW YORK – Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Wal-Mart are stepping out, which is a pairing that is likely to inflict pangs of jealousy both on Kmart and its parent Sears Holdings. The Martha Stewart Crafts line will roll into Wal-Mart stores throughout the U.S. and Canada in two new assortments, Martha Stewart Create and Martha Stewart Celebrate, beginning this month.
