In reply to the discussion: Sears Closing Hundreds Of Stores, Many KMart Stores Going Out Of Business As Well [View all]du_grad
(221 posts)I am probably the only one I know who goes to Sears to look at clothing. Their discounts are amazing. I just bought a nice purse where the original price was $48 and they had it (and many others equally as nice) for $12.99. Why they bought Lands End I'll never know. I had ordered a coat from Lands End and returned it to the local Sears (saves me shipping postage). While I was there I checked out the Lands End coats they had in stock. I found one but needed a different size. The sales associate ordered it off the Lands End site for me while I was in the store! I got the same 30% off that the store was giving.
I got some nice shirts for my husband at the beginning of fall that were already drastically reduced. They were as nice as Eddie Bauer shirts and I got three of them for about $42! EB charges that for one.
There is only one K-Mart left in our medium sized city and it is hard to get to. Since the one closed that's near my house I have not been there. They had good deals also.
The stores decor' and appearance is drastically outdated. That doesn't bother me but my daughter, who is 34 years old, won't set foot in there. It is perceived by that age group as WAY past its prime.
There is also a Sears outlet in the area where you can get great deals on appliances. I wonder how many of their stores will remain here? We used to have two Sears, a bunch of K-Marts, and one outlet. Now there is only one of each.
