Here is your opportunity to leverage the power and resouces of one America’s largest and most respected brands.
This is your opportunity to be a part of a brilliant business model and partner with Sears to “own" a prestigious Hometown Store. Sears has not only eliminated the mystery of owning a business, they have created an opportunity to move up the escalator of business ownership and concentrate on the elements that are crucial to success.
Starting and running your own business is both a rewarding and complex process. As one of America’s premier retailers Sears knows what works and what doesn’t.
Designed for the small to mid-sized markets, the Sears Hometown Stores concept is one of today’s hottest opportunities- with an overall goal of 3,000 independantly owned and operated stores in 500 communities throughout the United States.
This smart business model allows you to do what you do best- develop and maintain relationships with the community and your customers while we take care of the back-end management, computer systems, pricing, advertising, marketing, inventory and much more.
You focus your time on the fun and rewarding part of the business instead of trying to manage the administrative part.
Training and Support
