New Sears Hometown Store Opens in Pleasantville

PLEASANTVILLE, Pa., April 25, 2018 -- Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOS) will open its newest Pennsylvania Sears Hometown Store on April 26 at 123 East State Street, located inside Andrews Hilltop Hardware.

The Pleasantville location marks the 14^th opening of a new Sears Hometown Store this year and the 14^th 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.

“We’re excited to serve the Pleasantville community and surrounding areas with competitively-priced, top-of-the-line products,” said Brenden Riley, owner of the Sears Hometown Store in Pleasantville. “With the buying power of a large department store and the distinctive atmosphere of an independently-owned retailer, we’re able to offer our customers a selection of home appliances, electronics and lawn and garden equipment with the help of a knowledgeable sales team.”  

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 within a store in Pleasantville 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®, plus a large assortment of lawn and garden equipment, Craftsman® tools, fitness equipment, electronics, mattresses and more. 

The Pleasantville 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 Pleasantville store also offers Sears Nationwide Service, Parts and Installation.
