“We do not believe that the fourth-quarter represents a turnaround in Sears Canada's business prospects.”
“I can confirm that it will be converted to a Sears off-mall format.”
“The differences between Sears Grand and Sears Essentials are not that great. It made sense to have a single name for our off-mall stores.”
“Overall, the moderate-priced stores such as J.C. Penney, Sears and Wal-Mart had good traffic levels. We think luxury sales were probably flat this past weekend because more people said they decided to go away on vacation before Christmas this year than last year. So this could have impacted spending on other high-end items.”
