I shopped at this store in the 1960s. Still remember the Candy Shop area toward the middle of the store and that great chocolate smell. Other department stores had them as well.
yes. ‘and sears website is a bad joke...
ESPECIALLY since Sears almost pioneered mass-scale mail-order merchandising....they were GRRAT at it! now it almost all been captured by Amazon ... a modern upstart, if you will....
and even using Sears website can be a real struggle, even its product-search function is really crappy !! amazingly poor website, and they shipped up an OBVIOUSLY broken at the warehouse tool.. that required a year struggle to even get a half-assed refund for, a refund they promised in writing immediately but when you tried to get it... you got connected to people in Phillipines, Viet Nam, all over hell and gone as I recall....we finally had to threaten to sue the guy who purchased, owns sears now...just to get our damned money back ... horrible horrible company nowadays, but it was PRIMO good place in the past, a fine company and you always knew the merchandise was good or they’d fix or refund right away, it used to be just the opposite of what it is today, a very honest reliable company, imho
Same here! My first job was at Sears. They hired me at 16 in 1976 to wrap gifts and give out gift boxes at Christmas, then called me and hired me to work in Babies and Girls. Sweet memories.
Their double-dipped chocolate covered peanuts were the gold standard.
