One man says he’s upset about his extended warranties, which are now useless.
“I bought five appliances 5 years ago in a big renovation and of course I bought extended warranty which is worth nothing to me now.”
Other members of the public are concerned about what this means for the economy of less populated cities.
“Of course in the smaller communities it’s one of the biggest retailers right, so for our community it’s not going to be a good thing or for Canada I don’t think it’s going to be a good thing either.”
Sears Canada has been around for 64 years and currently has 74 department stores, eight home stores, 49 Sears Hometown stores, and employs approximately 12,000 people.
The liquidation sale will extend through the holiday shopping season and finish January 21st, 2018.
