It's nigh impossible to sift through the umpteen posts of trolling and misinformation surrounding this. I figure that anyone talking of the future or other nonsense is trolling, extraordinarily stupid, and almost certainly both.
It's hard to believe Kenmore appliances the company can't deliver has any remaining value to the bottom line, The lone store in our area doesn't get any merch outside of mattresses (the two Craftsman aisles have a pitiful selection), and multiple stores that have been closed for years are in sorry shape in empty malls that probably don't even get a tenth of the foot traffic of their heyday. I peeked in one that's currently being used as a vaccination center, and it would probably cost a metric ton of cash to get up to code. There was a lot of black stuff which I'm 90% sure is mold. It's hard to believe that these will sell to raise cash when there are so many good spaces available during the pandemic.
Are there any well stocked Sears stores that are still profitable and doing business like it's still 2010? It would be nice to make a nostalgic final pilgrimage before the end if there's one somewhere within several hundred miles, because it's now a failed company in every conceivable way.
