I can't think of anything that sears has that you can't get somewhere else, usually cheaper. Their electronics are a joke, best buy sells appliances (kenmore tends to be garbage now, my aunt outfitted her kitchen with all kenmore stuff a couple of years ago and they've all had numerous issues). Tools can be had at any number of places. The regency and avenues stores are honestly kinda depressing. Sears just kinda resides in the middle of every road and there just isn't a need for it anymore- they can't offer anything unique.

I'm happy with their tools and do prefer them to others. We have been able to use credit with discounts for home appliances, although we dont use kenmore after hearing numerous comments like yours. At times, its convenient, but i agree with some judiciousness, you can do better with other competition.

However, this only adds up to 79.  Sears is expected to announce the closure of up to 40 more soon.
