PROFILE |
 |
Service Merchandise is a diamond seller in the rough. Until a recent revamping, the troubled firm was the nation's #1 catalog-showroom retailer -- a dubious distinction, considering the format peaked in the mid-1980s amid the rise of Wal-Mart Stores and other discounters. Service Merchandise, now operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, is repositioning itself as a smaller, self-service retailer specializing in jewelry and housewares. It has quit selling such categories as consumer electronics, sporting goods, toys, and indoor furniture. After closing about one-third of its locations, Service Merchandise has about 220 stores in 31 states. Customers can also place orders by mail, phone, or on the Internet.
