GRESHAM, Ore., Aug. 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHOS ) will open its newest Oregon Sears Home Appliance Showroom on August 14, 2014 at 590 NW Eastman Parkway in Gresham. The new location will provide customers access to a full suite of top brand name home appliance merchandise and mattresses at the lowest prices, by the Company's price-match policy.
The Gresham location marks the fifth opening of a new Sears Home Appliance Showroom Store this year and the 20th opening of a new store across all of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores formats.
"It's often challenging to find top-of-the-line home appliances for a reasonable price," said Anthony Keane, store manager of the new Sears Home Appliance Showroom in Gresham. "We offer the leading appliance brands, including exclusive Kenmore products, at a competitive price you just can't pass up."
Proving to be at the forefront of retail trends, Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. is embracing the practice of "showrooming" that many big-box home improvement, home goods and appliance retailers are running away from. Through the Company's price-match policy, the Gresham Sears Home Appliance Showroom guarantees the lowest price on the top appliance brands, and is equipped with an internet kiosk where customers are guided by sales staff to view similar products, price match with other retailers, and order products not available in the store.
The Gresham Sears Home Appliance Showroom offers all of the top 10 appliance brands, including exclusive names like Kenmore® that can only be found in the store formats of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc., Sears Holdings Corporation and its respective affiliates. In addition to offering Kenmore, the Gresham store is the only place in town where customers can find an incredible selection of Maytag®, KitchenAid®, Whirlpool®, Bosch®, Frigidaire® and GE® appliances, as well as a large assortment of mattresses. The Gresham location also offers installation and repair services from trained technicians.
The Sears Home Appliance Showroom store in Gresham can be reached at (503) 465-0789 and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. To learn more about Sears Home Appliance Showrooms, visit www.searshomeapplianceshowroom.com .
