They got big with their catalogue model, letting people mail in orders and having it delivered right to their door. That was like Amazon before Amazon. If they kept that going into the digital age, they could have been Amazon.

no major brands, old people merchandise, didn't adapt to online. they still operate like its 1992. no one is going to Sears for tools when they mark them up so much.

This is the problem with a lot of old brick and mortar retailers. Especially the online part. They were either way late to the game or they didn't show up at all.

their stuff is still good. I have no problem with it. I just don't get how their original business model was so far ahead of its time, yet they failed to utilize it when that time actually came.
