I have never understood the Sears business model. You can buy tires, lawn mowers, appliances and underwear...all within a few feet of each other. Every time I walk into a store, the smell of new rubber is overpowering. I think the big box stores killed Sears and K Mart many years ago but they are just now admitting it and thousands will be out of jobs. My heart goes out to the employees.

Online sales. Brick and mortar stores cant compete with virtual stores. Cost of running the store is much higher than that of a warehouse.

Funny thing is Wal Mart has done both these things and been quite successful ^
=====================================
Which bring me to another point
A few years back I was shopping for a t.v. The exact same model I purchased from Best Buy for a little over $600, Sears had it retailed for $1,100,
IMO they've failed to be competitive

I guarantee it would make a comeback if Max was running the show.

Interesting; it must depend on the store, because I have never gotten that smell or impression in our local Sears store.

They failed BIG TIME in this area for sure ^
I think they should still have a brick and mortar prescence, just scaled back abit. Maybe thats what their trying to do now

That Billionaire dude should've made a thread here 5 years AGO. He wouldn't be in the mess he's in if he hadda
