I heard that they were considering groceries ...

Sears struck me as a company that didn't realize who their competition
was. Prices/quality just aren't competitive with other stores,
especially on common hand tools like levels.

You mean they didn't play the "compete on price only" game???
Sears didn't kill sears. Nor did Walmart. Nor did the Internet. The
North American Public killed Sears. And are the poorer for it, when
you get right down to brass tacks.



I believe it was merging with KMart that killed Sears. KMart had bad
deals going back in the early 90's.
Sears was dying bit by bit before the K-Mart merger. It may be the
merger is the only thing that kept it from dying right there. There
was not a long line of suitors lined up to buy it, was there???
