Sinking deeper and deeper into recovery.

I swear I didn't even know Sears is still around. I figured they closed in the last year or two.
Stepping into one of their stores was like a time warp back to 1982.

The only thing you can get at Sears is your credit card hacked!

I’ve gone there. Saw empty shelves at Christmas time.
Not because they sold anything, but because they didnt put anything out to be sold.

I still support them and love their stores. Not good news.
To: SeekAndFind
Even their tools suck now. They are seldom any better than Harbor Freight but cost a lot more.

Craftsman is being sold through Ace Hardware. So I think that is in the works akready. But mostly craftsman is now made in Taiwan, so it does not matter anymore.

That’s disappointing to hear. Harbor Freight is like the Dollar Tree of tools. I went there years ago once, looked around at the cheap crap, and left.

Compare craftsman toolboxes to US General at Harbor Freight. I actually like the latter better.

When Sears ended their catalog business, I wrote them a letter of complaint. For those who remember the Sears catalog, just think what sort of postion they would have been in if they’d continued it up until the arrival of the internet and online ordering.
But they decided to emphasize their brick and mortar retail stores and ended their catalog sales. Would have been an easy transition from catalog to online business, and a catalog could have been continued for those who wanted it.

And that is exactly why they are having problems that old brands like Macys aren’t. Lampart hasn’t been keen on upgrading the stores. Sears Holdings is also located just outside of Chicago which doesn’t help. I don’t know how any retailer justifies being based out of Chicago.
