Business Insider has a a video that goes along with Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of Sears, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse, We Went Inside A Sears And Saw Why The Company Is Dying.
We visited a Sears in Jersey City, New Jersey to see why the company is imploding. We were shocked by the dismal conditions on a Tuesday afternoon.
When asked for comment Sears spokesperson Howard Riefs responded with the following: “Some areas of this particular Sears store are in seasonal transition and other areas are in the midst of project work. For example, we recently moved the men’s department to the lower level and are in the process of replacing the carpeting in the former denim section. Nevertheless, the described images from this store are not representative of the majority of our Sears locations and do not depict what we want our members and customers to experience. We take these matters seriously and this store’s team has already begun addressing the issues. We hope your video depicts a comprehensive look at this store, which includes our all-new Showcase area featuring top international apparel, footwear and accessory brands that are debuting in America exclusively at Sears.”
Yikes! That’s worse than anything Retail Archeology showed!
