S-Mart was the department store that Ash and Linda worked at. It's slogan is: "Shop Smart! Shop S-Mart." S-Mart only appeared on film in the third installment of the Evil Dead trilogy, Army of Darkness, but it went on to become a major setting for the Army of Darkness comic books.
Beyond The Films
S-Mart is the main setting for a majority of comic books based of the Army of Darkness film published from 2004 to 2013. In the comics it is shown that S-Mart is owned and managed by Mr. Smart, a large elderly man with thick glasses and a handlebar mustache. The comics also show that S-Mart is a national chain, much like Walmart or K-Mart.
In the Ash and the Army of Darkness comic reboot, Ash's entire store is teleported to 1300 AD, and all of the customers turn into Deadites.
