Sears was built on mail-order, and prospered on the spread and
decentralization of America. The storefronts were originally an adjunct
to the core catalog-sales operation.
I remember when Sears abruptly shut down its catalog operation and the
distribution warehouse in Seattle. It was one year before the founding
of Amazon.
Oops.
