The Sears in Joplin closed its automotive shop about 2 years ago. They deserve to go away for their shoddy clothes, crummy displays and incompetent employees.
I can buy tires anywhere.
The clothes that the Sears HERE stocks are all aimed at Mexicans. Hate to sound crass, but they're just awful. Their dresses and blouses are loaded with lacy ruffles, glitter, sequins, etc. Just awful. I've been to Sears over in the Bay Area and they carry a totally different line of clothing. They just figure there are so many Mexicans here that they should cater to them.
