Sears is opening a few stores this spring — and this time, it's just selling home goods.
Sears announced this week it will open three “Sears Home & Life” stores in May, in Anchorage, Alaska; Layette, Louisiana; and Overland Park, Kansas.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.
These shops will be smaller in size — spanning only up to 15,000 square feet, while the average Sears store can be larger than 100,000 square feet. The stores won’t include apparel, something other department store chains are increasingly struggling with selling today. It will additionally be working more closely with Amazon, Sears said, to make more products from the Kenmore appliance brand available on Amazon Dash’s reorder platform. Sears partnered with Amazon in the summer of 2017 to sell Alexa-enabled appliances, and later to offer full-service tire installation for orders from all tire brands on Amazon.
