Reports: Sears Reaches Temporary Deal to Avoid Liquidation, Will Keep 425 Stores Open

by Taylor Williams January 8, 2019

Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect new developments. HOFFMAN ESTATES, ILL. — Sears Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SHLDQ) has reached a temporary deal to avoid liquidation and keep 425 of its stores open, according to media sources. After it was widely speculated that Sears Chairman Eddie Lampert’s $4.4 billion bid to save the company would be rejected, representatives of Sears agreed Tuesday to a revised bid from Lampert’s hedge fund, ESL Investments, that gives the 126-year-old company another small shot at survival. Liquidation remains a possibility for Sears. According to USA Today, ESL Investments has until 4 p.m. Wednesday to come up with a $120 million deposit to keep the deal alive. In addition, the company’s assets will be auctioned off on Monday, Jan. 14. The original bid by Lampert, the man behind the retailer’s merge with Kmart in the 2000s, would have theoretically saved 50,000 of the retail chain’s 68,000 jobs nationwide, per the network. CNBC reported that Hoffman Estates-based Sears considered the bid by Lampert’s hedge fund, ESL Investments, to be insufficient, particularly with regard to covering fees and payments owed to vendors. In October 2018, Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after it failed to …

Orange County’s Retail Market Remains Scrappy

by Taylor Williams January 8, 2019

The Orange County retail real estate market remains resilient despite continued pressure from growing ecommerce sales and a new tranche of retailer bankruptcies. Sears is the latest retailer to file for bankruptcy in the Amazon era. Toys“R”Us, Fallas Paredes and Mattress Firm have all declared bankruptcy, while Lowe’s announced it would close all Orchard Supply Hardware stores. In comparison, ecommerce sales continue to experience double-digit increases year-over-year and analysts are quick to conclude the so-called “retail apocalypse” is imminent. Does this mean it’s time to panic if you are in the retail real estate business? Definitely not, but it does mean the edge belongs to those who are proactive and adaptable in their decision making. We are also seeing many retailers and developers step up their game in the wake of ecommerce popularity. Retailers like Walmart and Ralph’s/Kroger are offering free same-day delivery and, in the case of groceries, food delivery in as little as one hour. Retailers like Best Buy are not only price matching but offering better product education and experience via what the company calls a “stickier” relationship. Developers are getting better at placemaking, the multi-faceted approach to planning, design and management of space, giving people more …
