I just want batteries
for My Craftsman Tools!
Their creditors, pleased, will not be.
Another reason to wear my Sunday best.
They’d probably get a better response if they just called them Home & Life stores. Drop the Sears name period. But then I didn’t major in marketing and get paid millions to come up with stuff. Lol
craftsman tools were once highly regarded!
now that the stores don’t back them up like they used to, and since so many of them are now made in communist China (many with obviously less quality)... they are commonly referred to as Crapman tools
a fine (and good quality) brand...almost completely destroyed....alas...
I don’t see anything compelling about the new Sears plan.
Bargains? Uniqueness? Interesting shopping experience?
Nope. Nope. Nope.
I’m rooting for them, but I just don’t see it working.
Maybe 20 years ago, after the big Sears store in the mall closed like many others, they opened a franchise store that sounds exactly like this, only they also carried major appliances and such. I know my new fridge, washer and dryer, and a treadmill all came from there in the 2000’s. It was locally owned and people seemed to support it. I don’t know why a franchise model would not work.
Might look cheap but I love their mens department for clothes, especially some of their store brands. I can get basic blue dress/work shirts for 15 and better made tshrts for 7. So I can easily buy multiples and make it sort of my uniform
IIRC once upon a time there was a competitor to Home Depot called Home Base. They went bankrupt sometime in the mid to late nineties I think. They then reopened as a home, and lifestyle type of store, but didn’t last a year as the products they were selling were in every other store, and swap meet around. Hopefully Sears will not do the same insanity as the Home Base proprietors accomplished.
Why bother. If you go to there website and try to buy something then you will find that pretty much everything is out of stock.
I thought maybe they would create their own bitcoin.
I always like their women’s clothes but whatever works.
Sears should bring back craftsman with its guarantee. And McDonald’s should start using beef tallow again. I tell you both places would thrive.
For over five years my Wife managed one of the last, remaining, Sears Home Appliance Outlets in Georgia. It was a rat race, and she was glad when it was over.
Knowing the inner workings of Lampert’s “sears”, she doesn’t have very high hopes for this new venture, and vows that she’ll never go back there.
Who paid off their debts? Me and you. No thanks, Sears.
Sounds like they are going for items too large to be easily ordered online, shipped to the home and would benefit from professional installation. It’s a smart move. I buy all my major appliances at Best Buy.
