@3lsg Old news. Costco has been selling Kenmore appliances for awhile.
Funny enough, my local Costco had a Kenmore fridge for sale on the sales floor yesterday! Maybe they found a bunch of unsold ones in an Innovel warehouse.
"What's a Kenmore?" It's Barbie's Ken, with a 12 inch appendage...
Looking for a new vendor that doesn’t require payment, THEN, the iconic Kenmore brand can go back on the market and be sold for $1B.
Hahahaha
What's a Kenmore?
Even without a link to prove truth, I can believe this to be true. What manufacturer would want to make Kenmore appliances for a chain with limited sales capacity. Not to mention the fear of not being paid. Not worth the headache.
On clearance in ALL eighteen remaining stores? This isn't even newsworthy.
How are they going to find an even worse supplier? Sell the used one's Home Depot and Lowes pick up?
WTF is Sers?
It's not the first time. Whirlpool used to be THE major supplier. But they cut Sears loose years ago.
