The numbers do not add up. Sears Holdings has over 4,000 full-line and specialty stores. Same-store sales for the eight weeks which ended December 25 were down 5.2%. That figure represents a sharp acceleration of negative numbers from the earlier part of 2011. But, Sears Holdings only plans to close 100 to 120 Kmart and Sears Full-line stores.
Sears is in great enough trouble so that shuttering 3% of locations barely dents the problem. The Kmart and Sears store networks must have a larger portion of their outlets which underperform enough not to be profitable, or are only marginally so.
Sears problems are not new. If they were management could make the argument that it might turn the retailer around with only modest store cuts. But, Sears is now struggling to stay a viable company. A 3% cut in locations is not nearly enough.Et selon certains ANALystes, les ventes sur le net sont très décevantes...rien pour aider.

L'âge moyen des clients dans un magasin Sears est de 70 ans, pas étonnant que les ventes sur le Net soient pas fameuses... C'est justement la vente par le Net qui fut l'initiateur de déclin de la chaîne, et de ces comptoirs postaux.
