The buzzards are swarming now for Sears.

IMHO, I have done better shopping at Sears for mens casual clothing than anywhere else lately. JCP has switched its line and now it's very confusing when I enter the store at Solomon Pond Mall in Marlboro. The Sears in the same mall was quite busy yesterday (they had a friends and family day event). The staff was friendly and the bargains were everywhere.

I hope Sears can hang on for my lifetime. I also shop online quite a bit, but I prefer to see my clothing in person.

Little Rock closing

No surprise...a few post above someone said something about there never being more than 10 cars in the parking lot, lights off, poor selection. Same story here. There is another Sears on the North side of town that will remain open; the store is in a mall so I would assume they're locked in a lease for a while. The closing store is free standing. From what I've been told they have already started merchandise close out pricing. Yeah...it's sad..just like others who have commented..it was part of my growing up...everything from the clothes on our back to the washing machine came from Sears. In fact the entire family on both sides were the same..so we're talking several generations of Sears shoppers. To be honest I don't even think my parents "shopped around" for the best price/deals..they just shopped "the Sears" store. Sad day, but understandable.

As I've asked/said before:

"Where will our college professors shop at?...  Seems as though they won't have or will no longer have this "retailer/goods & services-example" for the curriculum during their lectures to shove down our throats!  

 

I don't know what brand of clock radio, or whatever personal effects, will be in their office(s)/adjunct faculty room either...

The end?

The attached link is for a CNN Money article from this morning. Things have gotten worse at Sears, and now they are looking at selling the Craftsman and Kenmore lines. How much longer can this go on?

Again, sad. I just bought an air conditioner at Sears...and got my eye exam there. Everyone was super nice and I really enjoyed the experience. Also went to KMart for the first time in years. Store was kinda rundown but again, employees were very friendly.

But like the article said, all retail is doing poorly.
