SEARS TO OPEN COMBO STORE

Toronto-based Sears Canada plans to open a combination furniture and home appliance store in Calgary this fall. The outlet will be 43,000 square feet in size, with most of the floor space being devoted to furniture, rugs and accent-decor items. The new outlet is a coupling of Sears free-standing Whole Home Furniture stores and Brand Central appliance departments. Advertising for the store will be done by Ammirati & Puris/Lintas of Toronto. Since August 1995, Sears has opened eight Whole Home Furniture Stores in Ontario, two of which include appliances. The retailer plans to open 14 outlets by the end of the year in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
