"Our highly skilled Williamsburg team and in-store internet kiosks provide our customers with expert product knowledge to ensure they're getting the best competitive pricing and the best product – they can price check other retailers and read customer reviews right in store."
The Williamsburg team is excited to provide customers with professional advice, exceptional service and real-time price checks to make sure they receive the guaranteed lowest price. This unique store format allows customers in small communities to have access to the great products and brands usually found only in Sears stores.
