Sears ultimate demise?

Sears has provided many products with well-known brand names such as craftsman and lands end which for years customers have resonated these items to be found in a Sears store. However, as several Sears stores continue to close down due to lack of sales and staying in the competitive marketplace they are starting to sell their private-label brands to other retailers.
