A&E Unsustainable
Numbers don't lie. When you do the math, with all variables in play, A&E is in it's death throes. One more week, or one more month. It won't recover from this nightmare. EXTREMELY inept management, who can't even communicate with proper English... — read more

Kmart in my town reduced store hours to 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. All other retailers in my town are operating with normal hours in place prior to covid-19.
Irony
Isn't it ironic that a man who embodies the antithesis of loyalty thought he could transforms Sears' future through a loyalty program?
