Sears sells apparel, home and automotive products through approximately 870 full-line stores and 1,300 specialty stores nationwide. The specialty stores include Sears' dealer stores, National Tire and Battery, Sears Hardware, Orchard Hardware (in California) and The Great Indoors. In June 2002, Sears acquired Lands' End, a direct merchant of traditionally styled, classic clothing offered to customers through catalogs and online. Sears also has a sizable credit business, with receivables of more than $28 billion, and a services business that is engaged in product installation and repair, service contracts and home improvements. In addition, Sears is the majority owner of Sears Canada. << |
