Signs at Kmart promote the layaway plan: "Big style, small payments."

Leona Keen (left), places several items into layaway for her son, who attends Capital High School. Stan Kipp helps her at the register while Amanda Casto, of Sissonville, takes home a large box of clothing she paid off in time for her sons' new school year.

Store manager Billy Rasnake checks the clothes and other back-to-school items held in layaway at the Patrick Street Kmart.
