HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Sears announced the grand opening of a new store dedicated
to appliances and mattresses today. Located in Honolulu, the unique retail concept focuses on
two of Sears's strongest categories, appliances and mattresses,
while continuing to offer the expertise and capability of its
leading integrated services. The new store builds on the success of
the first Sears Appliances & Mattresses store located in
Pharr, Texas, which has been open
since June of this year, as well as the Sears Appliances store,
which opened in Ft. Collins, Colo. in 2016.
"We're delighted by the positive feedback we've received from
our members around the Ft. Collins, Colo. and Pharr, Texas stores," said Leena Munjal, senior vice president, Customer
Experience and Integrated Retail, Sears Holdings. "At our new
Honolulu 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. This new store helps our members
easily find the best product for them to live life now and enjoy
these products in their homes for years to come."
Located in the Mauka wing of Ala Moana Center at 1450 Ala Moana
Blvd in Honolulu, the 16,200-sq.
ft. Sears Appliances & Mattresses store showcases the top major
appliance brands, including Kenmore®, in a bright, spacious setting
with interactive displays, allowing members to view home appliances
in kitchen vignettes and experience top mattress brands. Members
can visualize how new appliances would look in a full-scale kitchen
with the "Discover More" 100-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 Honolulu store also
exhibits an assortment of vacuums, floor care and home environment
products, as well as countertop microwaves. Members can also try
out mattresses from top brands including Tempur-Pedic®, Beautyrest,
Sealy and Stearns & Foster, and shop for select pillows and
bedding.
The new location 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.
