In 1993 Anita Ferguson took a chance and bid, along with 11 other people, to operate a Sears’s outlet pick-up store in the Crowsnest Mall. Ferguson won the bid and her relationship with Sears Canada began.

With the success of the catalogue portion of the store and a new location in downtown Blairmore, Ferguson decided to branch out in 2008 becoming a dealer store with stock including fridges, stoves, and dishwashers, household items you can buy right from in-store and take home.

Ferguson is expanding again, carrying a selection of living room furniture which includes couches, chairs and coffee tables.

When you walk through the store, it’s really like walking into a regular Sears store in any city.

Ferguson carries everything mentioned above as well as mattresses, headboards, nightstands, microwaves, wine coolers, beverage centres, bar fridges, vacuums, snow blowers, shop vacs, lawn mowers, barbeques, pillows, mattress covers, even garage door openers.

Ferguson is now the only Hometown Sears store from Lethbridge to Creston offering both in-store and catalogue sale pick-ups.

Sears has become a more competitive department store, according to Ferguson, “right now Sears price matches all major department stores so you don’t have to look for a better price, cause we have already done that”.

Sears also offers finance options, including easy monthly payments, flexible payment options up to 60 months and approved financing in minutes.

For their Black Friday event the store is bringing in a 55” RCA television for $479.97.

Whether you need to buy appliances and furniture for a new house, or just want to modernize what you have, you’re local Sears store has everything you need. In Ferguson’s own words, “you don’t have to drive anywhere to get what you need, if we don’t have it in-store you can order it .

Your hometown Sears store operates Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and is located at the four way intersection in Blairmore.
