That was the last brand name (other than their Kenmore) appliances keeping Sears afloat. The company may finally die the death that mismanagement imposed on them. I still wonder how Sears (home of the century-old Sears Catalog) could have messed up the transition to online shopping, which they should have dominated.
Sears had ownership in Prodigy, one of competitors to AOL in the 90s, but the new owners sold their interest and decided to complete with Walmart and Target in the discount store race (remember Sears Grand?). Then they got stupid and merged with K Mart.
