Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
It's sad, but it's not like they couldn't see this coming for many years. They didn't try to adapt that I could see. We consumers brought on their demise looking for better values and/or service, so "we" shouldn't be surprised either.
Other than DieHard batteries, Craftsman tools and the odd Kenmore appliance, we never shopped much at Sears, and zero now that those products are mostly gone. When a company sells off some of it's most respected brands (e.g. Craftsman), it's pretty clear the end is in sight. Selling off assets to finance what's left is sort of like watering your weeds and pulling your flowers out...
Our local mall, which we stopped going to years ago, has already lost an anchor store and if they lose Sears, that'll be two of four. Wonder how long the mall will be able to forestall the inevitable?
