Thread regarding Sears layoffs

Happy new year - will 2019 be the turnaround year ?

My plan is to reopen all of the stores that have closed, give them complete makeovers, fill them with nice merchandise at reasonable prices, and staff them with competent and friendly employees.

@vwg Sears are being redeveloped at an average of $150/sq ft by Seritage. With their rents they're getting on the properties, their profit is effectively zero, and they're even suffering losses.

Good luck getting back all the converted At Home, U-Haul and other places! Not all of them are empty and decrepit as posters on here would have you believe as many Kmart's are being sold off and redeveloped by other places.

You could give Eddie $1 trillion dollars and he would lose $2 trillion dollars if he tried to put it in Sears.

And Lowe’s just dealt with the debacle with OSH which Sears owned before so they’d be insane to give Sears a try.

Actually Lowes would be the most likely to buy sears for obvious reasons. Amazon will probably buy target. Either way OP your job is safe now that the purge is over.

Managing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars at Christmas is totally a great sign for the year ahead.

Obviously, someone would need hired that actually could run this type of company. And no one will work with EL that has a brain

Which will work just as well as the transformation plan that has been ongoing since 2007 and which resulted in bankruptcy
