Looks like Eddie is getting desperate and now needs Lowes to carry the Kenmore name. Maybe Lowes will buy the brand. No need to step foot into a Sears FLS or Hometown any longer. Although, it's been that way for awhile. The Sears stores are no longer relevant, haven't been for some time and having Kenmore appliances at Lowes doesn't help.

The Kenmore leadership is disintegrated. The people who really made the brand move in the retail and commercial spaces; the leadership of "do"ers.......has left. Only overpaid executives with no experience remain. Maybe they can review their MBA notes on how to properly analyze the current situational challenges.......
pffft.
Eddie only gets a small percentage of every Lowe’s sale for another 10 years or Sears goes under. Whichever comes first. Stanley B&D needs to step up and start making Craftsman in the US again like they promised when they bought the brand. Then I’ll start buying again. Right now, they only make tool boxes, tape measures and utility knife blades here.
I don't buy Craftsman at Loews or anywhere else. Not going to give Ed a penny If I can help it.
+1 on the Craftsman clothes. Shirts, work pants, and even boot socks are surprisingly good quality.
The problem of course is that most of today's Kenmore products aren't manufactured by the same vendors as the Kenmore products of even three years ago. Whirlpool and company wanted to be paid for their products and, with no ongoing guarantee of this, cut ties.
The name Kenmore doesn't mean what it used to.
There’s nothing wrong with Craftsman branded clothing. SYW pants on the other hand...
DieHard shoes and shirts? Shop Your Way pants? I thought the direction was to exit softlines. My head hurts.
Sears is extremely essential and needed. Diehard shoes,Diehard shirts,shop your way points,Fine jewelry, Everlast shirts, and of course Craftsman branded hats.
Forget Lowes and Home Depot this is wear the brands began.... by the way do not forget Maidenform lingerie for those special days.
Give me a list Jack,Ron please.
