What is a Sears Roebuck and Co share value?

When did Sears-Roebuck first open?

Sears first began in 1886 as the R.W. Sears Watch Company in Minneapolis, MN. Sears hired Roebuck in 1887, moved his company to Chicago, and in 1893 the corporate name of the firm became Sears, Roebuck and Co. At that time, all sales were done by mail-order from a catalog. The first store was opened in the Chicago mail-order plant in 1925 and was so successful that seven more stores were opened in the area by the end of that year.


When did Sears and Roebuck go out of business?

In 1980, Sears, Roebuck and Co. announced the formation of a corporate office and plans for major restructuring. This resulted in renaming the retail business the Sears Merchandise Group and the insurance business Allstate Insurance Group in early 1981. When Sears acquired the Dean Witter Reynolds Organization, Inc. and Coldwell Banker & Company later that year, it formed the Dean Witter Financial Services Group and the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group. The following year, Sears formed a world trading company. It became Sears World Trade, whose activities were reduced and transferred to the Sears Merchandise Group in 1986.
