convenience is the key....to reconnect

i believe that sears needs to evolve into a different format.   more and more people nowadays shop for convenience....gone are the days of the pure giftshop retail concept, maybe because of the rapidly changing tough economic times....i suggest that sears should metamorph into a more crossover ( gift shop/convenience ) kind of format...we can add features like foodstop where people can grab quick snacks or refreshments... a pharmacy ...photo developing center....ticketmaster....we can even install atm machines  and tie-up with citibank...and so many other features that will satisfy people's quick needs....yes, convenience is the key for sears to reconnect to today's consuming public.

We call that Sears Essentials / Sears Grand. However, as most Sears stores are in malls, a convenience store format wouldn't be much of a convenience.

i am saddened by your quick, negative, smarty, shoot that idea down reaction to a simple, sincere, just trying to be helpful suggestion to have convenience features in the sears stores....i just noticed that with the current economic slowdown, we can inject some add-on features in order to attract more footsteps, more traffic to the sears stores....and i was not thinking same format as essentials nor sears grand....i was thinking of a more cosmopolitan kind of execution...and why can't we do it in the sears " mall stores"....when nordstroms has a coffee shop, carson pirie scott has a ticketmaster, macy's has atm machines....it is a matter of execution...and please take some time to ponder on the suggestion before you start firing your pop guns...thanks
