My wife and I walked into our Sears for the first time in forever. We were looking for a dress shirt for our son.
The place was almost completely empty of product. The shelves were bare, there was almost no racks to place things, and nobody was in the store to shop.
We both said to each other that there is not much time before it closes.
There is no reason to shop there since there is nothing there to buy.
I very rarely shop for clothes, but even then, Sears would probably be way at the bottom of my list when it came to dress shirts.
I can name at least 5 department stores that I'd check before even thinking about Sears when it comes to clothing. It is simply not their specialty, and it's weird to expect the selection to be good there.
I will, however, echo your sentiment that the store looks very bare and very few customers. It looks closer to a warehouse than a retail location.
I thought about Sears at one point when they owned Lands End. Back in the day, our Sears was probably 10% household goods, 30% clothes, 20% tools, 20% appliances, 10% TVs, 10% jewelry. So a lot of clothes.
