https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears
Their Craftsman line looks like it is close to being sold, Diehard and Kenmore won't be far behind.
Won't help, the head guy has been more into making money for himself and the other stockholders than taking care of their stores, stocking levels, customers or employees for years.
This has actually been the longest, slowest going out of business sale of any super sized retailer in history.
K Mart will be gone before it is all over too.
A shame, for us older types we remember how iconic this store was.
Need anything....go to Sears.
Tools...Craftsman had a replacement warranty like no others.
Appliances...Kenmore, of course.
At one time you could order just about anything from their catalogue, even a complete house, and that catalogue had a prime place in many outhouses back in the day because used as toilet paper that thing would last for quite a while.
Now they are a sickly version of this once mighty company, their stores look horrible and they are bleeding cash and can't stop it, won't stop it.
Like a sick, catatonic relative hooked up to life support with no hope of recovery.
The end is near, another year or two and it will be over for this company that began in 1886 with their catalogue and started to open stores in 1925.
I always did wonder what suspiciously happened to Roebuck.
