New Sears Hometown Store Opens in Kansas

Manhattan Retailer Offers Top Brand Home Appliances, Lawn and Garden Equipment, Tools, Mattresses, and More at Guaranteed Lowest Price


MANHATTAN, Kan., Jan. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq:SHOS) will open its newest Kansas Sears Hometown Store on January 22 at 8055 East Hwy 24 Suite B in Manhattan.

The Manhattan location marks the fourth opening of a new Sears Hometown Store this year and the fourth 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.

"Visitors to our store will be greeted by a knowledgeable staff that is dedicated to finding customers the products they need. We offer competitive pricing on a wide selection of name brand appliances, tools and home and garden equipment," said Mark Feldkamp, owner of the Sears Hometown Store in Manhattan, who owns a second Sears Hometown Store in Ottawa, KS. "We look forward to becoming a trusted partner in the community."

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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan 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 Manhattan store also offers Sears Nationwide Service, Parts and Installation.
