The Australian Kmart has a good, modern rendition of that logo (they were started by the US Kmart but later sold to Cole's Ltd.)

Not exactly random, but I was bored one day and started playing in Microsoft Office Visio and came up with a couple concept designs for Kmart stores, since even current remodel jobs for Kmart stores look half-assed... and this (I think) would be a big sales help to modernize the storefronts.

A cursory Google search for "Zip'z Ice Cream" shows two locations by that name. One in Chicago, the other in Englishtown, NJ. Unfortunately I couldn't find a valid website, nor did satellite imagery reveal anything substantial.

Aw, that's too bad! The Levitz store in Fresno had a massive neon sign dating from the 60's. Somewhere I have a picture of it lit up at night.
