How many vendor have we lost?

How many vendors are still shipping to SHC and how many are now leaving? It seems like everything is out of stock or we have vendor issues. Our store is getting more and more off brand items and items that are just junk. What is the deal?

How?

I was convinced my store would be on the list and it's not. I don't know why or how, we barely have any customers anymore and I can't imagine that we are in any way profitable. So what gives? I'm not complaining, but I am really confused at why we... — read more 

What happened to stores being left alone?

Do you remember a few months ago when Eddie said that they were looking to save $200M this year but it wouldn’t be coming from the stores? What happened to that?

Liquidation and Commission

Once the process starts do those that work on commission still get paid on commission or does it change to hourly?

Pretty sad

Back in 2013 I worked very intimately on a project where I was involved in store location pages. I got to know where just about every town and every store was located. There were around 3000 back then. Even a year ago there were around 1600. Now it's... — read more

Is it 72 stores closing, or 100?

I've seen articles with both numbers. Has a number been determined yet? I have seen in the past sometimes articles from one source saying Sears is closing so many stores, only including those under the Sears banner, while others include Kmart in the... — read more 

A reoccurring theme

I have a feeling we are now looking at what will become a reoccurring theme. Report lousy quarterly results, announce major store closures, wait three months. Rinse and repeat. I don't see a way in which this can turn out any differently. Even those... — read more 

I hate clickbait titles of articles

I keep checking if the list of closing stores is out, and I just ran into "Which Sears Stores Are Closing? List of 72 More Stores" on Time.com. Took a deep breath and clicked to see how my store fared, and what I find is "Sears said it would publish... — read more 

Unprofessional

So this morning several announcements were made of store closures... but the the stores were removed from the list shortly after. Talk about total mess.

The Replenishment Crew

It all started spiralling, ever downward, towards the abyss when SEARS elminated the Replenishment Crew. Also I will never forget the day when we had an A.M. store meeting and our Store Manager blamed store losses at the time on employee theft. I... — read more 

No rhyme or reason to closing stores

Seems to be very random. I've tried to make sense of their methodology being that I've seen and heard of "good" stores closing right along with the underperforming ones. Do they draw slips out of a hat? Or does it look like a bingo hall where there's... — read more

Can't find mention of severance

Do we know if Eddie will try to skimp us on severance? Knowing what happened with Sears Canada, I wouldn't be surprised, and I can't find any mention of it yet in any of the articles. I don't expect them not to offer any severance, but I do believe... — read more 

Talk about a crappy start to day

This was not the news I was hoping to wake up to. Now I keep obsessively refreshing Google to see if an article with a list of affected stores has surfaced. I think our store is among the better performing ones, but if I've learned something on this... — read more
