Answer 1

There are two KMarts in Manhattan.

Check out Bath Bed and Beyond too.

Answer 2

Wal-mart has tried but been shot down so far by Democratic politicians who are heavily financed by labor union leaders.  People in NYC are stuck driving ti New Jersey

NYC is very crowded.  Wal*Marts tend to be very large.  I don't think one would fit.
