Sears Grand Las Vegas Opens to Meet the Needs of Busy Families
|
Nearly half of the 500 Las Vegas women who participated
in a survey (47 percent) say taking care of household
and family needs takes more than 10 hours a week. Many
women (62 percent) say they make one to two stops on an
average shopping trips, while 34 percent say they make
three to four stops. About one in two (55 percent) say
they could eliminate at least one shopping trip each
week if they could purchase multiple items all at one
store.
To help Las Vegas families slow down the hands of time,
Sears Grand is coming to the rescue.
The third Sears Grand pilot store celebrated its
"grand" opening in Las Vegas on Saturday, July
31. The store opened its doors earlier this week so
media and local dignitaries could get a sneak preview.
The 165,000-square-foot Vegas Sears Grand will feature a
unique combination of private and national brands in a
bright, colorful, easy-to-shop format aimed at being the
ultimate one-stop shopping solution for family and home
shopping needs.
"Sears Grand offers busy shoppers a way to manage
their lives and households more efficiently," said
Teresa Byrd, vice president, general merchandise manager
for Sears off-mall stores. "We listened to our
customers and designed Sears Grand as the ultimate
solution for busy families. It’s the heart and soul of
what Sears shoppers love—including the quality brands
and services we’re known for—with an added level of
convenience and ease."
From the centralized location to the innovative mix of
high-quality products, brand, services and competitive
prices, Sears Grand defines one-stop shopping. Sears
Grand’s unique product and service offerings enable
multi-tasking families to efficiently manage their busy
lives and households.
"We are excited to become part of the Las Vegas
community – one of the fastest growing family areas in
the country," said Harvey Isom, Sears Grand Las
Vegas store general manager. "We look forward to
being a good neighbor and assisting the people of Las
Vegas and the surrounding communities with their family
and home related needs."
Sears plans to increase the pace of growth for its Sears
Grand format, targeting three of the newly acquired
Kmart locations for conversion to Sears Grand stores.
Including the previously announced four Sears Grand
stores expected to open by the end of 2004, the company
expects to be operating 12-14 Sears Grands at the end of
2005.
