The Wichita location marks the 16th opening of a new Sears Hometown Store this year and the 24th opening of a new store across all of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores formats.

"This new Sears Hometown Store provides a new kind of hardware retail to the Wichita area," stated Jackson Holbrook, owner of the new Sears Hometown Store in Wichita. "We try to make shopping as easy as possible for our customers, and do so by providing them with the largest selection of home appliances, tools, lawn and garden equipment, mattresses and home electronics at the lowest possible price."
This unique store format allows customers in small communities to have access to the great products and brands usually found only in Sears stores. For instance, the new Sears Hometown Store in Wichita is the only place in town where customers can find an incredible selection of the top appliance brands such as Kenmore®, Maytag®, KitchenAid®, Whirlpool®, Bosch®, Frigidaire® and GE®, plus a large assortment of lawn and garden equipment, Craftsman® tools, fitness equipment, electronics, mattresses and more.
The Wichita team is excited to provide customers with professional advice, exceptional service and real-time price checks to make sure they receive the guaranteed lowest price.
