Sears is just stupid.
They need to divest while they can.
Might as well sell everything off and close up shop.
They were stupid years ago. No company by its history was better positioned for direct home sales in the internet era than Sears. For decades they dominated catalog sales, you could buy almost anything from them. (much like Amazon today)
At some point they decided that they were a retail store company instead. Which began the decline as they couldn’t compete with either Walmart or high end department stores. They, despite their history were late to the internet and incompetently executed their limited internet presence.
Kmart bought them out, and installed thier own brand of stupid on top. Now I just wonder how long until this corpse of a company dies.
It is sad, both from a personal memory perspective and from the sheer wasted opportunity.
