I admit there is something intriguing about this Sears.
Yes, it's a Sears. And Sears has long been more of a Craftsman Tool and household appliance place more than a fashion place.
There are registers and shopping carts where you walk in. I have been to other Sears stores and have seen the shopping carts there but pushing a shopping cart around Sears just seems a little....well...strange. But I guess if you're a mom with a kid the cart could add some well needed convenience.
The clothing and fashion departments are limited to the basic Sears brands. The attire they carry are your basic everyday clothing needs. Nothing designer or flashy or 'glitzy'. You aren't going to find anything to wear to the Oscars here. But they do have some great clearance racks where you can find some great everyday clothing deals at some great prices. And in this economy who doesn't like a nice dependable clothing deal?
There are the usual home appliance/bed and bath/electronics/hardware departments also. And once again they are your basic dependable Sears brands.
But like I said there is something intriguing about this Sears. And the fact that it doesn't feel like a Sears store is part of the appeal. The fact that it used to be a Montgomery Wards helps. This is a one level store with one main aisle that makes a complete loop throughout the store. No clothes dryers on the bottom floor with clothing on the upper level.
So, if you're in the neighborhood and need to buy some work socks, a blender, and a hammer it should fit your needs perfectly.
But if you need to buy some work socks, a blender, a hammer, and a floor length gown and tiara for your upcoming coronation, you may need to make an extra stop.
It is what it is for a Sears store.....without coming off too Sears-ish.
Make sense?
