The small Sears store in Cobourg was converted to an outlet location recently. My mom actually likes it better than the old way.
I was in two different Sears locations recently, Scarborough Town and Fairview. STC seemed very empty. Not of people but it reminded me of Target, hardly anything in stock. I think they had a good Christmas but they still had a lot of winter outdoor clothing. A lot of retailers got bit by the warm weather and have a lot of winter outerwear still. The Sears at Fairview was much better stocked in most areas. Again it had lots of outerwear.

In June, Simons' CEO Peter Simons said that he was going to open a store in the mall, as well as at Oxford-owned Yorkdale Shopping Centre in 2019.

Bankruptcy. (As sad as it is to say).
Eddie is almost finished completely gutting the company. You have to think MBA schools will be comparing and contrasting how Eddie took over a profitable and competitive Sears and killed it versus how Richard Baker took over a moribund Bay and turned it around.
I'd take a very different view if my local store was Bloor Street [...] There are some suburban Bay stores that don't look much different than Sears.
