Although the writer only visited one store, still, this comports with my (and apparently most others’) impressions of most Sears stores generally.
Sears has some fine brands, but it will be the next Kodak if it doesn’t slash and burn, leaving only PROFITABLE ventures like Craftsman tools, Kenmore appliances, Sears-branded home and auto repairs, etc. No one buys clothing or general housewares there anymore.
Not sure how they can focus on Craftsman tools. I refuse to buy that stuff. I’m an electrician in the oil patch and when you’re way in the bush you need tools to work and not break. The quality on Craftsman lacks.
