Sears

Once a household name, Sears was a retail leader known for its catalog and vast department stores. Specializing in appliances, tools, and apparel, Sears was favored for its in-store customer service and its trusted Kenmore and Craftsman brands. However, in the 2000s, the store faced severe financial difficulties, leading to widespread closures. Consumers were loyal, but the company's inability to adapt to the e-commerce boom led to its decline.
