@AbsolutelyFabulous filed for bankruptcy a few years ago.
Sold off their Craftsman, Die Hard and Kenmore brands before that

@Kiesel ohhh that's sad.. I felt like they were an integral part of the usa retail market

@AbsolutelyFabulous think when the Lowe’s, Home Depot and even Best Buy came around and started carrying appliances… that was the nail in the coffin for Sears.
There were other clothing department stores that were taking away market share from Sears in that regard.
Plus the Sears having car maintenance service bays was costly and Wal Mart has that. Among other cheap places

I don’t particularly miss either store but sad that the closing first of mom & pop shops and now malls signify the end of an era (or two.) With the internet occupying an increasingly significant role in our lives, I fear people getting more and more isolated, lonely and depressed.

I liked Woolworths. We had a big one with a parking lot in town
When Aerosmith were nobodies they lived in my town. They played in the parking lot occasionally
And, as a kid, I loved that awful orange aid they sold

I kinda miss Sears, if only just for nostalgia if nothing else. K-Mart was tacky.
Kiesel · 56-60, M
Yep.. same
Especially the generation of sears when they had Kenmore, Craftsman, and Die Hard
