Sears would never sell outside the home store unless it is in the flagship store: Kmart!?!? Why on earth they will sell their appliances outside the *Sears store(s)* when foot traffic within their stores generate higher sale for other goods within? That's like cutting the head quarter way off the neck, it's an definite doomed for a slow but painful death! |

I may be wrong about this, but doesn't Sears operate a franchise program of sorts for remote areas and small towns? I think independent stores can sign up to sell Kenmore and Craftsman brands. |

Steve, I'll take a stab at this. The products secured for PX sale are potentially sold around the world so that our servicement & women have access to what is familiar and "home" to them. It is my understanding those who live on base have the same type of electrical current as here in the US, the local energy is "stepped down" so to speak.
