Mary Stipple sent a message to Edward Lampert Chairman and CEO of Sears Holdings Email Address that said:
You are supposed to be rehabilitating Sears and KMart, but it seems your only strategy to continue to close more stores. Shame on you! I do not understand why you havent been ridden out of town on a rail by the stockholders/shareholders. There needs to be a clear strategy and effort to save these retailers and not just line your pockets with fur. Sears has been an icon for decades. I worked there during its hayday and it makes me sick to see what has become of it. There was a thriving hardware, paint, appliance, and clothing business at one time. Now paint dept. doesnt even exist, lost sight of its clothing customer, and the company peed away much of its business to big box stores without even a fight. Pathetic. This is not the time to be passive! Get off your laurels and SAVE the company!
