NOGALES, Ariz., Dec. 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq:SHOS) opened its newest Arizona Sears Hometown Store today within the Paco & Son's Home Furniture location at 1213 Grand Ave. in Nogales.
The Nogales location marks the 14th opening of a new Sears Hometown Store this year and the 31st opening of a new store across all of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores formats. Unlike most retail concepts, Sears Hometown Stores combine the value, selection and services associated with larger retail stores but are owned and operated by a member of the local community.
"Working directly with homeowners, we recognized the need for a broader product and service assortment to assist them with their projects," stated Gustavo Paco, owner of the new Sears Hometown Store in Nogales. "Adding the new Sears Hometown Store provides great value to our local community and gives our locally-owned, independent business the buying power of a large department store. Customers now have access to the top appliance brands at the lowest possible prices and still benefit from our outstanding customer service and superior in-store experience."
This unique store format allows customers in small communities to have access to the great products and brands usually found only in Sears stores. For instance, the new Sears Hometown Store in Nogales is the only place in town where customers can find an incredible selection of the top appliance brands such as Kenmore®, Maytag®, KitchenAid®, Whirlpool®, Bosch®, Frigidaire® and GE®, as well as lawn and garden equipment.
The Nogales 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. For instance, if a product is not available in-stores, Sears Hometown Store associates can order customers any product from the entire merchandise selection offered by Sears, including apparel, footwear, jewelry and much more. Customers also have the option to order products online and pick them up in the store without a shipping charge. The Nogales store also offers Sears Nationwide Service, Parts and Installation.
