Sears is returning to Stamford and is scheduled to open a store in early 2009 at the High Ridge Center, occupying part of the space formerly leased by Tower Records.
The Stamford store would end Sears”™ 12-year absence from the city. The Sears appliance store would join Stamford rivals such as Planet TV & Appliances, County TV & Appliance, and Associated Appliance & Service.
Publicly-traded Sears Holdings is the parent company of Kmart and Sears, Roebuck and Co. Hedge fund manager Edward Lampert of Greenwich is chairman and controlling stockholder of Sears Holdings.
A 72,000-square-foot Sears location in Ridgeway Shopping Center closed in early 1996. That store sold appliances, hardware, electronics and automotive supplies and had been in the center for about 45 years.
