During the election, Macy's criticized Trump for his remarks against Mexican immigrants. His cult "protested" their criticism by boycotting Macy's. You know, those right wing folks who think boycotts are stupid.

With wider selection, product reviews, and lower prices, online shopping makes more sense for a lot of shoppers.

What doesn't make sense is claiming the shopping should be a social experience. Really?

Macy's continues to carry all sorts of Ivanka Trump's shoes, clothes, jewelry. Just checked and there are several pages of her made-in-China knockoffs.

Default Just Announced: Sears to Close ANOTHER 100 Stores...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sears-h...eady-targeted/

Now adding to their initial closures announced last year.

Department stores are not WINNING.

Between Sears and Macy's I find it interesting that none of the stores identified are in the area I shop. The majority of the closures seem to be in less "booming" areas economically.

Guess you'll have to order that stove through Amazon!

Just started a new thread on Sears morning announcement that they are closing 100 newly identified stores. MAGA!!! Seriously though, I wasn't using sarcasm on that thread. But you just KNOW if they expanded, Trump would be tweeting and taking credit. You just know it!!

Online shopping is eating bricks and mortar stores for lunch.

Convenience, cost, selection, ... all factor in.

Customer service is the only advantage physical stores have and Sears has been on a downward spiral in this area for some time.

Sears has been doing as poorly as it has because the CEO believed he knew better than the customers. Would they be the center they were in the past? No, but ego has really hurt them.

I never shopped at Sears for clothing. For a woman, I think their clothing is just awful and always has been. However, I sort of liked their appliances back in the day. I think most people in my area are not getting appliances through Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, etc. I absolutely HATE going into those stores for appliances because you can't get a person to even look at you. I just wonder why they couldn't keep afloat in, at least, that department.
