Have stores even been receiving new merchandise in the last couple weeks/months or is it the same old c-ap shuffled around from closing stores and warehouses?

@1xjw+15RjrNnG Shows how the world doesn't give a c-ap about Sears or Kmart anymore.

The reopening of the Yakima Valley and the tri-cities area today has been insane. We are finally reopening retail, and people are dying of cabin fever. The Ross had lines like it was Black Friday. Sears management of course is going full tard and missed out on what was probably the biggest shopping day of the year. Considering our lack of everything, I would hazard that we are not going to have the biggest shopping day ever.

With endless out of stocks, old tired inventory, and dispirited associates who are waiting for the ax to fall.
What a glorious CLUSTER!!!

From looking at the Sears.com store locator listings, it appears that the Appliance & Mattress stores in Fort Collins CO, Camp Hill PA, and Pharr TX are also reopening.

Watch they reopen it Friday and then announce its liquidating on Monday. That would be funny.
