This is a great strategy—persuade your customers to go on-line to shop in other stores. :-(
These clowns are diving over a cliff—but feeling good about themselves while they do it!
That is easy for them to do since they’re going out of freaking business
Direct outlet model. The twitter of retail.
Oh yeah! That’ll really help these two dying companies... See ya, chumps.
(I must say that really do like Craftsman tools, though. Hopefully Home Depot will pick them up.)
Time to cut up your Sears and Kmart cards, both are headed to the list of “out of business”.
When all is said and done, I wonder whether Eddie Lampert will be happy with, or regret his Sears/K-Mart takeover. Sure, the price has dropped, but it was always more of a real estate play than a merchandising play. A lot of the real-estate has been stripped off now into a separate entity (Seritage, symbol SRG, if anyone cares).
In my area of Maine, both the Macy’s and the Kmart are closing due to lousy sales.
Sears will be next.
This is a symptom of the problems at Sears/Kmart. When they were successful they stayed out of politics, now they must have liberals in charge.
Garbage stores anyway....they’re still in business?
Ivanka should just have her own web site and not depend on these limp wristed soon to be bankrupt retailers. For customers who want to try to look and feel of her merchandise, she can open a few retail outlets here and there, but that’s it.

Bezos must be laughing his ass off! Brick and Mortar outlets are committing hara-kiri on behalf of Amazon!
I seem to have read that they have been dumping customers as well, for some time now...

Business suicide from a retailer on the last minutes of life support.
I’ve had a Sears card since 1965. I haven’t used it in 7 or 8 years. I just cancelled it.
We had 2 K mart’s both are now closed, Sears not far behind.
Americans join together in dropping Sears, Kmart.
My house is a Sears catalog house from 1926. It is the Verona model, a 2 1/2 story colonial. The Sears houses came by rail and you assembled them yourself. All hardwood floors and oak trim, cove ceilings.
Back in the days, Sears was as American as apple pie. I’ll have nothing to do with them now.
