Yes, they still do.
The one thing that still is true about the chain is that they are VERY, VERY good about returns. If you are not happy with your purchase for ANY reason at all they will gladly take it back with no questions asked as long as you have a receipt and return within the specified period.
A lot of other stores that offer similar products today make returning a hassle, especially if it is expensive or electronics, not Sears.
It's a shame to see two historic icons left to wither and die by incompetent manglement.
K Mart is also a story of incompetent manglement.
I remember the stores in their heydays...Bright but simple, with a very good selection of items, decent store staff, that were willing to help, and yes, Slushies, a grill, with EXCELLENT grill cheese, and the homemade subs. Makes me depressed to think about how a story of great success was left to rot. The store we lived near in
Buffalo Grove, Ill (circa 1973-76) had an A&P supermarket incorporated into the KMart. I wonder why they didn't make that a standard store design? That location was ALWAYS packed, the grocery store was clean and well stocked, and they had blue light specials even in the grocery store section! In my mind that location was WAAAY ahead of its time by decades.
