Over in Plymouth, close to Wal-Mart, there's a different Sears franchise store that is well stocked and well run. The store has lots and lots of kitchen & laundry appliances, air conditioners, tools, lawnmowers, sno-thros, chainsaws, pumps, hot water tanks, tools, televisions, exercise equip, and mark-down bargains, & tools.
Everyone who works there has a good attitude and they know the product lines. Believe it is owned/managed by a local husband/wife. It's been there for about ten years now with the same franchise owners.
Whatever they don't have, they can get it fast, and they do deliveries.
Gee whiz, maybe I should go apply for a job there? It would definately be a step up from unemployment and less dirty work than painting!
