I remember sitting at the lunch counter at a Woolworth's;)

Time flies.

Many years ago, Sears decided to end the Sears Catalog.

At that time, I worried about the longevity of the once-great company.

Sorry to see it go, but please don't blame the internet.

Many/most of these are closings of the Sears Auto Center, not the Sears store.

board chairman submitted a formal bid today so we’ll see what happens - probably too late to stop any closures, tho

The CEO and chair and #1 stock holder wants it gone. He gets the real estate. Lampert or whatever.

Sears could have leveraged their catalog into an Amazon killer.

To this day, though, their website is horrible. They should sue whoever has been developing it.

I will be shocked if anything sears exists in a year. Kenmore and craftsman brands have been the only value at sears for decades. When they bought out Kmart it was a done deal that they sealed their demise.

Sears went out in our area (Utica/Rome, NY) years ago.

Sears and Roebuck were the first mass marketers via their catalogs. They totally missed internet marketing. They should have been Amazon. They failed due to management.

If their management was astute they would have crushed Amazon like a bug. They were not astute, Jeff Bezos was.

I bet the CEO who transferred all the Sears store real estate has new plans for those store properties. He raped Sears blind.

I hope Land’s End is not a casualty of this demise.
