i don’t miss Sears one bit. The last few years of its existence saw the stores lookkng like messy junk piles. I never found anything I wanted.
I never bought any appliances there so I can’t speak to that side of the business.
yes... I totally agree with you on that ..some Sears stores looked messy and didn't have the proper upkeep - and you had to rummage through items
they really let themselves go on that one- that is for sure...
but prices were reasonable, and quality wise- you can wash and wear them for a long time..they had poor management.. and lack of staff to maintain it...
that is the clothes/shoes portion of the store..
appliances, were awesome- Kenmore machines lasted forever, and if anything went wrong with items.. they would fix it, and not resist doing it- and were accommodating... not like places you go to now..you buy the appliances- you have to go directly
to the makers of the appliances head office and they give you the runaround..- and the stores themselves won't help...with Sears you buy it there and they help you cause you bought it there..
with bedding items.. the variety was there, and you can always get what you needed..mattresses/ blinds etc..with no issues... and the catalogue was phenomenal.. to order from.. and had everything in all categories...
they really should have made that the forefront of the business e-commerce.. and it might have succeeded and not folded up the way it did...
I probably sound like I had shares in the company or something..
but it is just a shame that it isn't around anymore... I mean I know, there is the Bay.. -and now Saks and Nordstrom's- but it is way too overpriced for items that you would have found in Sears for the same thing.. and they have limited supplies.
that is what I never could understand... why would Sears fold- in such a tough economic times- and yet, higher end department stores took it's place...
no one turned rich overnight... I mean I am a consumer of those stores, but very rarely .. whereas Sears I used to buy often.. and it was busy whenever I went...not just Eaton Centre and Yorkdale..but I used to patron different cities too..
oh well, guess times change...
