 PROFILE
Sears, Roebuck and Co., one of the top US retailers, continues to be seared by mass merchandisers and mall chains alike. So, in addition to pushing its private brands of apparel, tools, and appliances (Crossroads, Craftsman, Kenmore) in more than 860 US mall-based stores, the company has been adding features common to the stores of its rivals, such as shopping carts. Sears' specialty store operations include nearly 1,300 automotive and hardware stores (NTB National Tire & Battery, Sears Auto Centers, Sears Hardware, Orchard Supply Hardware), as well as almost 800 independently owned Sears stores that serve small towns. The company is closing about 90 underperforming locations. Sears owns about 55% of Sears Canada.
