Sears Goes High-Tech with Connected Solutions

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.

Goodness knows, Sears needs to do something to increase its footprint. I hope this move works. If not for its committed owner, it would have disappeared years ago.
