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.
