Yes, you read that right—Sears. The iconic (and stodgy) retailer has opened a Connected Solutions store-within-a-store in San Bruno, California.

The 4,000-square-foot showroom has room vignettes that mimic a kitchen, living room, nursery, bathroom, backyard, laundry room, and garage. It includes a Simply Entertaining section for smart TVs, mobile devices, and Bluetooth speakers; a Simply Fit section for fitness trackers, wireless bathroom scales, and gym gear; a Simply Automated section for app-controlled lighting and smart appliances; and a Simply Secure section for doorbells, security cameras, and smoke alarms.

Smaller showrooms with half the products are expected to roll out over the next few months.
