Sears, once the World’s Largest Store (WLS radio in Chicago was owned by Sears, this was Sear’s slogan so the store’s radio station became WLS)
but we seldom see a corporate management drive an established firm right down the sewer .. like we’ve seen at Sears in recent couple of years or so
today, you can visit very nice big Sears store.. and roll a bolling ball down the main aisle, there are so very few customers. And their online operation is, imho, both poorly presented and also imho their customer service is a giant RIPOFF operation, steal from the customer.. send her gift cards with zero balances, etc.
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.
“bolling ball”
Not really picking on you, but I’ve
never seen one of these;).
Yes, it’s a shame Sears couldn’t
keep up. Years ago, one could buy
everything from a gun, to a boat.
And almost all items were American
made. The death of another Icon.
