Funny, there are none in Texas. I have a full line sears 5 miles away, a Sears Hardware 2 1/2 miles away and 2 Sears Appliance stores within 4 miles. How can they not all compete.

Probably, but then again is that stock even worth anything at all now?

both sears and kmart just need a make over, but instead they just come up with flashy fliers and TV adds to look like they got nice new fancy stores, but all the stores local still look like they did in the 70-80s or even worse.

Make overs cost money. Sears spends 200 million annually reinvesting into improving stores. Wal-Mart on the other had spends 13 billion annually. Its pretty much too little, too late because the customer is gone.

but they could of done it when times were good, before walmart was nation wide. Our local sears store is in the same old building, with the same old look, as when both my Grandma's worked there before I was born. [One retired from that sears.]

I've thought this for a long time. Both stores near me are closing and while I understand the need for a diverse portfolio, sometimes you just need to do what you're good at. In Sears case it WAS tools and appliances.

That's coulda, woulda and shoulda right there. The company got lazy and relied on a loyal customer base that gradually eroded in face of competitors that could offer better shopping at lower prices. Sounds almost like the story of GM doesn't it?

GMs problem is they keep trying to keep up with the fad whims of HS kids.
Instead of building Icons that out last any generation. Let the foreign brands build them tin can crap box fad cars, team up with em like on the Toyota-Nova and slap a Chevy sticker on it. |

but you forget, walmart doesn't make anyone make their products in China, you can find plenty of made in usa products there, its the producers of the parts trying to make an extra buck moving production to China over the US as they don't want to have to pay union wages.
