Sears is an American institution that's getting beaten up, ... The company is trying everything it can to stay in business but it's still losing market share everywhere.
As a negotiating strategy, I would assume Saks is trying to package the whole thing -- to sell the good with the bad.
The company has remodeled its stores several times and is also trying to sell its credit business . But when the smoke clears, it's anyone's guess as to how many more years Sears can go on like this.
has been trying very hard to do that for a long time. So far they have been left with a giant loss of market share.
