Sears was ahead of its time with its catalog. They had no competition. Now Amazon ia booming with the same concept. Why doesnt Sears return to catalog only and delivery and compete?
Sears blew it. When I was a kid Sears was the place I bought what I bought. Ordered it at lunch at the store, picked it up when it came in and took it home on the bus in the evening.
Door delivery can’t last. Just don’t see how it can be done cost effectively. I think it will have to revert to some sort of Sears model with deliveries at a brick and mortar pick up facility and online ordering. The big truck will come each day and drop off the orders for people to pick up and home delivery will be an option at a cost.
We will see but brick and mortar stores that try to stock and predict what the customer wants are dead or dying. I wonder what will happen to all the retail space and parking lots?
