As of this week, Sears has filed for bankruptcy. They'll continue existing but that existence is getting smaller and smaller and it's questionable how long they'll last. This video takes a look the company over the years and how they found themselves in this situation.

Sears was goof all thru the 90s.
Thats pretty rotten of u to shred a company that lasted nearly 150 yrs like that. Hell they still goin.
U can order it all online.
I'm impatient so i prefer to go get what i need rather than wait anywhere between 2 days and 8 weeks.
Sears Hardware just wasn't able to compete with the other 2 major home improvement stores right down the street (Home Depot and Lowes). Very few people I knew chose Sears as their go-to place for that stuff and would more often than not only shop there if they were also going to the grocery store since it was right next door.
Sears at the mall was just...unpleasant looking. There wasn't much they sold that interested me, so I never really shopped there. However, I do remember going with family when I was younger, but we never got much from them due to Sears usually being higher in prices than anyone else.
Me: Yeah, what about it?
GP: that house was sold out of the Sears catalog in the 1930s.
Needless to say i was shocled that something like that was possible especially back then, so seeing Sears in such a rough state right now is quite sad
