>Global supply chain
I know you said "supply chain", but do Sears really have much presence outside the US?
I'm asking because I never heard of Sears before coming to the US. Might not be zero (I find there is Sears in Mexico at least), but definitely not strong compared to Walmart, Carrefour, etc.
- Marsymars 8y ago> I know you said "supply chain", but do Sears really have much presence outside the US? Depends how you count it. Sears Canada had about double the number of stores per capita as Sears USA. By the end, they were mostly a separate corporate entity from Sears USA, and shuttered all their stores over a year ago.
- fireattack 8y agoGuess I should say outside North American.
- Marsymars 8y agoAs far as I can think of, the number of retailers with significant worldwide operations is very small. Costco and Walmart both have about 20% of their operations outside of North America. Uniqlo is 40% Japan, 30% PRC, 30% elsewhere. No real others come to mind.
- NamTaf 8y agoIKEA is the big one that springs to mind for me.
- fireattack 8y agoFair point. Not sure Uniqlo should count though, lots of similar brands in fashion have massive global operation (H&M etc.).
- kalleboo 8y agoHow about Carrefour (53% outside of France), Aldi (owns Trader Joe's in the US)? edit: 7-11?
