Wisconsin Sears Hardware Store reopens as Sears Outlet Store

GERMANTOWN, Wis., Aug. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOS) announces the opening of a new Sears Outlet Store, located at N 96 W 18650 Country Line Rd in Germantown, Wisconsin.

The new store will convert from a Sears Hardware Store, allowing customers to benefit from even more savings. The location’s doors will close at 5:00 p.m. CDT on Friday, August 10, and it will re-open as a Sears Outlet Store on Saturday, August 11.

“We look forward to becoming a resource for those looking for a bargain in the Germantown community, offering customers great deals on entry-level priced to high-end home appliances, grills, lawn mowers, patio furniture, small kitchen appliances, home goods and more,” said Chris Hoffman, district store manager of the new Sears Outlet in Germantown. “Our product assortment is ever-changing and customers can expect to see new items every time they visit. To find exactly what they want and need, customers can rely on our expert sales team to simplify the Outlet shopping experience.”

Each Sears Outlet Store, on average, offers shoppers more than 18,000 square feet of retail space stocked with hundreds of items marked significantly lower than manufacturers' suggested retail prices. Each location provides customers in-store and online access to new, one-of-a-kind, discontinued, used, reconditioned, overstocked and cosmetically blemished products across a broad assortment of merchandise categories—including home appliances, lawn and garden equipment, apparel, mattresses, sporting goods and tools.

In addition to discontinued and special-buy products, Sears Outlet offers reconditioned merchandise that undergoes a stringent testing process and, when necessary, has cosmetic parts replaced and/or repaired before becoming approved to be an Outlet Certified item. Customers purchasing a Certified Appliance or other item from a Sears Outlet Store should expect significant discounts off the original retail price, a fully functional and operational unit, and the assurance that the unit still meets Sears quality standards as the nation's leading retailer of appliances and appliance-related products. Customers also benefit from delivery and installation services offered by Sears Outlet.
