its too bad but....
the middle class, so called, has been hit VERY hard .. especially these last 7 or 8 years
very hard, indeed.
rich people want premium or prestige goods, they go elsewhere.
poor folks and those 100 million suffering unemployment don’t shop much at all, and when they do...they look for value (which is better at WalMart or Costco sometimes or the local dollar store for some stuff, not Sears ...prices at Sears are really rather HIGH~! I don’t shop there anymore)
“and when they do...they look for value”
Value is more than just cheapest to the n-th degree. I walk through Walmart now and all I see is aisle after aisle of the absolutely cheapest foreign garbage.
There is room for a retailer who reaches out to the people who put Trump in office and moves even slightly away from the Target/Walmart level of crap.
Sears has the best Levi Jeans collection anywhere. Especially the odd sizes. The Levi brand store only has even sizes.
Stock up on jeans before they go under. I know, Levi is communist but still the best quality.
From the article. “The bleeding retailer is down 91% from its all- time high of $142.51 reached in April 2007.”
Brutal.
From Faith. “Those 100 million suffering unemployment don’t shop much at all.”
True.
I walked into Sears 4x this year and noticed the prices on Amazon are the same or better. I walked into Kmart 2x this year and walked out with two boxes of shoes for the price of one. Almost feels like stealing,
Walmart, Target, Sears and Kmart use the same factories in China. Walmart keeps growing. Target keeps offending Christians. Sears continues to struggle and Kmart feels like a Greyhound bus station and grim
