Hopefully Sears can somehow stay afloat in the internet age.
They were the greatest/largest dept store in the country at one time. A virtual "one stop shop" where you could buy about anything for the home or garage without having to go to several stores to get what was needed.
We've lost 3 major "anchor" Sears mall stores in NH since the downsizing began, leaving 1 remaining last hope for survival going forward.
Not sure their current business model will pull them through this, but I feel for the retiree's who depend on their income from Sears...
