HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
June 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Sears announced the grand opening of its first Sears
Appliances & Mattresses store today. Located in Pharr, Texas, the latest innovative retail
concept from Sears is a free-standing store dedicated to two of its
strongest categories, while offering the power and capability of
its leading integrated retail services. The new store builds on the
success of the Sears Appliances store that opened in Ft. Collins,
Colo. in 2016 – a location that has surpassed projections since its
opening.
"Response to this new concept has been overwhelmingly positive –
from member feedback to business performance – so expanding it to
another key category like mattresses, and in an important local
community like Pharr, made perfect
sense," said Leena Munjal, senior
vice president, Customer Experience and Integrated Retail, Sears
Holdings.
Located at 500 N. Jackson Road in Pharr, the 20,000-sq.-ft. Sears Appliances
& Mattresses store features interactive displays that allow
members to view home appliances in kitchen vignettes and experience
top mattress brands. The store showcases the top 10 major appliance
brands, including Kenmore®, in a bright, spacious
setting. Members can visualize how new appliances would look in a
full-scale kitchen with the "Discover More," 122-inch interactive
digital display. Using a tablet, shoppers can select common kitchen
layouts and appliances and further customize the experience by
choosing colors and finishes. They also can use the "Discover More"
digital display to shop for other products on sears.com.
The Pharr store also features
an assortment of vacuums, floor care and home environment products
as well as countertop microwaves. In addition, members can try out
mattresses from top brands, including: Tempur-Pedic®,
Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta, Simmons and Stearns & Foster, and
shop for select pillows and bedding at the store.
"At our new Sears Appliances & Mattresses store, the
community will find an innovative, interactive shopping experience
that showcases our leading array of appliances and mattresses, with
the support of expert associates," said Munjal. "Like our Sears
Appliances store in Ft. Collins, this stand-alone location fully
integrates in-store and online shopping to provide our members with
the convenience of shopping with us wherever, whenever and however
they choose. Only Sears offers the top 10 appliances brands,
including Kenmore, and has the largest network of expert
technicians who make managing your home easier."
The Pharr store will feature
the full suite of integrated retail services for which Sears is
known, including:
- Meet with An Expert: The free service helps members shop
for home appliances and mattresses by letting them schedule
appointments with in-store experts at a time convenient for
them.
- Free Shipping: Looking for a product that's not carried
in the Sears Appliances & Mattresses store? Simply open the
Sears mobile app, find the item you want – apparel, footwear,
tools, lawn and garden equipment and more – and get free shipping
on orders placed while in store (when location services are
enabled).
- Buy Online and Ship to the Store, In-Vehicle Pickup:
Members can purchase all products available on Sears.com or
Kmart.com, ship to the store for free, then pick up their items at
the store when they arrive, where they will be ready in five
minutes, guaranteed. Members can even choose to have their item
brought out to them by using Sears' innovative In-Vehicle Pickup
service.
- Anyone, Anywhere Pickup: Members can order any item on
Sears.com or Kmart.com and send a friend or family member to pick
up the purchase – particularly useful for parents purchasing items
for their kids who may be away at college.
