Appliances drive Sears.

September 4, 2008

Sear's Profits Fall 62% In Second Quarter | www.chicagobusiness.com

Bottom line is Sears goes as their appliance business goes.  with weakened demand and increased pressure from Lowe's and Depot there is no turnaround in sight. 5 years there will be lots of mall real estate available.  Sears customers are dying and attracting new customers is not in scope with their current format.
