Sears

MIC -

- - This location is closed. - - Sears is having trouble recovering from management mistakes in planning since the eighties. Quality remains high but focus is very poor. The Sears management structure is to blame for all the issues related to this and other remaining locations. Sears started as a catalog based retailer that could get products sent anywhere. Amazon uses the business model that Sears and Roebuck popularized. But Sears now falls short against the competition in the area of order fulfillment. The in-store inventory is disorganized and crowded while sparse in some areas. The prices are good but the aspect of service has been lost. When Sears cancels orders, and refuses to deliver to certain areas; they place customers in the hands of the competition. With the brand and buying power Sears had, they could have buried WalMart and Amazon. There is a possibility for recovery but it is a very, very unlikely possibility. Reorganize with less management and more focus on fulfillment now. Or sell Sears Holdings properties to Amazon. Maybe buying Sears Holdings stock now will pay off in the next six months. Sears owns tons of prime property.

Everything was marked up ridiculously& then a store closing discount was added. The same price as full price anywhere else. Just picked over & rough looking. Noticed tons of folks leaving store empty handed.
