Editorial Review for Sears on State – by Elisa Kronish
The Scene
Sears is back in the Loop after 18 years away, and it's back big. The shiny, new 250,000-square-foot store unveils an updated motto ("Putting a new spin on things") to match its updated look: bright lighting, lots of smooth curves, easy-to-see signage, light wood and tile floors. Surprising combinations of merchandise--such as tools sharing the floor with baby clothes--make it easy for families to shop together. Retro-pop favorites (hits from "Grease" and the Jackson Five) hype up young shoppers in the colorful juniors department.
The Goods
Merchandise covers the whole house (inside and out) and the whole family. Of course, tools get prominent space, with a how-to cart for gadget demonstrations. Clothing focuses on trendy knockoffs that cost a whole lot less than designer brands. Catering to an urban clientele, the store offers amenities like delivery service and customer pickup. It also has eight specialty shops: Sears Optical, Java Java Coffee Shop, Sears Hearing Aid Center, Sears Portrait Studio, an Afrocentric area called Unity Square, Sears Dental and a hair salon.

Great place to shop - I live in Lincoln Park and go out of my way to buy tools, appliances. Especially for appliances this is the place - nice lay out clean, and you can actually find someone to talk to. Just a great place to pick up household items in a relaxed environment. If I have the choice I always prefer this to Target, Home Depot. Enjoy it while it lasts!! I'm afraid it won't last, especially in this location, much longer -
Pros: No crowds; nice service; great for appliances
Cons: No Parking

If you look carefully, especially in the corners of each floor, it's easy to find deals up to 70-80% off. Sure, it's Sears and it can get messy, but if you know what you need, this is a place to score for downtown bargain shoppers.
