Re: Anyone else miss Sears?
I miss all of those places to shop. Last major purchase I got at Sears was my 80 inch Sharp Color TV and stand. That was in 2010 or 2011. The day the video Avatar came out. i still have a lot of Sears tools.

Wish I could still say the same for our 65" Samsung which is just past its 2-year warranty. I just had the optical audio output port go bad, along with the eARC port.

Re: Anyone else miss Sears?
A LOT of my tools, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc were bought from the local Sears store and at swap meets, garage sales, auctions. Still have my Sear inductive timing light and dwell meter purchased years ago. Sears was great for home use tools for all around needs and a good value. Lot of our appliances were Sears/Kenmore thru the years. The local store closed quite a few years ago. Always had good luck with their batteries lasting well. Locally we also had a Gambles Hardware, Western Auto, OTASCO (Oklahoma Tire and Supply Co.), Radio Shack. All gone now and Wally World is pathetic to try and find decent tools/hardware, plumbing, electrical, etc. Have to make a trip to the big city to get decent quality now days.
