Coming out of bankruptcy and doing the exact same thing
I can't believe this has been allowed. How can a company get away with letting stores degrade for over a decade only to close them in waves, then come out of bankruptcy and begin the process all over again. Can anyone name one single thing that... — read more
Yes. Sears is toast. No future in brick/mortar. EL still lives.
That should scare you if you work for a vulnerable company. This guy will get $7 Billion. Yep, $7B in tax loss credits when he scuttles the ship. Then he will do exactly as planned. He will buy up an undervalued struggling company with that $7... — read more

December
No go forward plan. It's over for the company. The rumor mill is going today and word is it's winding down fast. This will be coming faster than you think.
Most disgraceful going out of business sale ever!
Eddie ought to be ashamed of the way he has conducted the closing down of Kmart. Suppliers, associates, and customers deserved much better. If you can't make the stores look decent then you have no business being open to the public and exposing... — read more

Kmart could have been saved in the early 2000s
