It seems that Sears is starting 2018 with a bang - 45 Kmart and 18 Sears stores will be closing in January. We are in a lot of trouble if this is just a preview of what's to come for the rest of the year... — read more 

Brother-in-law works for a liquidator and just got his marching orders. He's got his hotel room booked in the area to begin the process next week. Get ready folks, the announcement is coming later this week! Good luck all!

I was thinking, there is really no reason to not air any ads during the peak shopping season unless it was already decided that Sears is done. That's the only explanation. Why invest in something and try to bump up sales of stores that have already... — read more 

Anyone notice more and more Sears repair parts and consumables are perpetually out of stock and our customers are waiting weeks and weeks for warranty repairs? Sears has yet to disclose the truth - more of our parts suppliers will no longer fill our... — read more 

Just curious as my sears store hasn’t we still have the Holiday Blowout signage up. When does the red tag event start and stop?

I see where we have changed our medication pharmacy from Walgreens/Prime mail to OPTUM. Has anyone received their Rx cards? Received a letter in mail a few days ago announcing this but no card yet.

Just think we will all be working for a different company by the end of this year. Very exciting!!!! What will you do?

Have your stores gotten new patio and lawn and garden tractors/mowers to replace Christmas trees?

Right after Christmas, when the bloodletting ALWAYS happens. I dont have any inside info and I can tell you that, just from previous experience. 2018 is gonna go down as the "Death of the retail salesman" year.

This is popcorn and there i will be approx 60 stores that will be announced this week.

You wd think that Christmas stuff would be more than 50% off now that Christmas is over. The 60% went back to 50%... should be up to 70% or higher to get rid of them

My store Mgr told me that our store is going to do approximately $7.5M in sales for 2017 vs $10M in 2016. My assumption is that it does not bode well? Is there a minimum sales threshold to remain open?

Looks like our region/district is bringing back the clean and bright campaign. Any others hearing this? Apparently they want to put lipstick on a pig .......full disclosure: our store is one of the 140....probably attempting to pretty it up for sale... — read more 

What happens to those protection agreements members are getting scammed into buying? Here's a big hint. https://www.sears.ca/protection.html

We are hearing receiving lead cut this week in the northeast. Is this correct or is it again a different lead in each store depending on sales? This is horrible after their most stressful time of the year.

Small chatter today on 3 Kmart stores in North East being liquidated starting January 1. A Sears store to be announced soon as well. One of the Kmarts is being looked at by competitor wal mart..Fake?

For the risk verse reward I would highly suggest the m-r-j-a-a stocks. Soon they will be valued higher than sears and they most can’t be shorted by the sharks out there.
