Sears, Roebuck and Co., commonly known as Sears, is an American chain of department stores founded in 1892 by Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck. The company began as a mail-order catalog business before expanding to open retail locations in 1925, with the first store in Chicago.
After being acquired by the management of Kmart in 2005, Sears Holdings was formed. Despite once being the largest retailer in the United States, Sears faced declining sales and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2018. As of January 2024, there are 13 remaining Sears stores in the mainland US and Puerto Rico.
