Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores to Close for Thanksgiving Day
November 10 2017 - 9:15AM
Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOS) has announced
each of its more than 1,000 stores across the United States will be
closed on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 23) 2017.
The closures will take place to give owners and associates of
the independent, local businesses a chance to spend the day with
their families.
“We understand the importance of spending time and creating
memories with loved ones during the holidays so we want to ensure
that our store owners and employees are given the opportunity to do
so,” said Will Powell, Chief Executive Officer and President of
Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. “Not only does hitting the
pause button during major holidays give them a chance to spend time
with their families, but it encourages our customers to take that
well-needed break as well.”
Black Friday pricing will be available on each of the company’s
websites on Thanksgiving Day. “We are encouraging our customers who
want to shop on Thanksgiving to use searshometown.com,
searsoutlet.com or one of our other sites and to pick up their
product in the store when it’s convenient for them,” said David
Buckley, Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President of eCommerce.
“If consumers want to spend the day with their families while
helping other families, shoppers can receive exclusive Black Friday
pricing before Thanksgiving Day with a donation to Make-A-Wish.”
This year, with any $5 donation to Make-A-Wish, shoppers will
receive exclusive Black Friday pricing at all Sears Outlet stores
from November 16 - 22 and at all Sears Hometown, Sears Appliance
& Hardware Stores, and Sears Home Appliance Showrooms from
November 19-22. The stores will re-open for Black Friday (Nov. 24)
and Small Business Saturday (Nov. 25).
“Being an independent, local retailer means focusing on families
and the community,” said Bill Beaston, owner of the Sears Hometown
in Middletown, Delaware. “Having the holiday off will allow us to
spend time with our families and recharge for Black Friday and
Small Business Saturday, a day designated to supporting small
businesses and celebrating their benefit on local economies and
communities.”
The closing of stores for Thanksgiving Day does not apply to
stores operated by Sears Holdings Corporation. Sears Hometown
and Outlet stores are largely independently owned and operate under
a license to use the Sears brand name, but are not part of Sears
Holdings Corporation. For more information or to find the nearest
