HISTORY OF SEARS, ROEBUCK, & COMPANY
Sears, Roebuck and Co., known today as Sears, is an American chain of department stores founded by Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck in 1893. The company was reincorporated by Richard Sears and Julius Rosenwald in 1906.
In the company’s early years, all merchandise was sold through their ever-expanding system of catalogs. By 1894, the Sears catalog had grown to 322 pages, including many new items such as sewing machines, bicycles, sporting goods. By 1895, the company was producing a 532-page catalog. Sales were greater than 0,000 (.4 million today) in 1893, and more than 0,000 ( million today) two years later. By 1896, dolls, stoves, and groceries had been added to the catalog.
From 1905 to 1915, Sears sold automobiles built by Lincoln Motor Car Works of Chicago (not related to the current Ford line). As automobiles grew in popularity, Sears began selling a complete line of auto parts through their catalogs, including the line of Justice tires and tubes.
In 1924, Gen. Robert E. Wood joined the company, and his genius steered the company for the next 30 years. It was Wood who noted the automobile was creating greater access to retail outlets in urban centers as well as suburbs and rural areas. Wood developed this opportunity by opening the first Sears retail store in Chicago in 1925. The number of stores increased quickly, and by 1931, the company’s in-store retail sales topped their enormous mail-order sales.
In 2005, the company was bought by the management of the American big box chain Kmart, which formed Sears Holdings upon completion of the merger.
Through the 1980's, Sears was the largest retailer in the United States; Walmart and Kmart surpassed Sears in sales in 1990. In 2018, Sears was the 31st-largest retailer in the United States. After several years of declining sales, Sears' parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 15, 2018. Sears announced on January 16, 2019, that it had won its bankruptcy auction and would shrink and remain open with 425 stores. Nevertheless, the trend of Sears and Kmart store closures continues, with 182 stores expected to remain open in 2020.
