As latest Sears closes in New York area, just 12 remain - so,
just what went WRONG at 138-year-old retailer that was once
the world's biggest?
The retailer once had over 3,500 stores across the US, with
many in malls
. . .
Hey, I *liked* Sears stores ....
But now, down to the final dozen alas.
The "online" trend hurt all retailers, but IMHO
there were elements in Sears (mis-)MANAGEMENT
that exacerbated the disaster.
Way back in the day you could mail-order entire
log-cabin kits from Sears. Moving to Kansas,
just order and you'd have your new home delivered
to yer 40 before you arrived. I wonder what the
shipping charge might have been ? :-)
