18 months after Kmart emerged from bankruptcy, it acquired Sears in in late 2004. It has been a rough ride ever since as Sears attempts to find its niche in todays retail. The local Sears store has turned into a hardware store with a few clothes and auto parts being sold the side. I feel for the sales people who work there. It has be tough when upper management has no sense of what direction they want to take the brand.
