BLOOMBERG NEWSSears, aka "The World's Slowest Liquidation Sale," garnered a fair amount of attention yesterday with the announcement that they would open small stores featuring appliances and other home products called Home & Life. During my tenure—as well as before and after—we opened dozens of Sears Hardware Stores and acquired Orchard Supply Hardware. We tried various combinations of small-format tools, appliances and mattress stores. Second, what Sears is trying today is what I often refer to as attempting to be a slightly better version of mediocre. I, like so many other people, truly wish there were a better outcome for Sears.
