Small appliances ended up haphazardly dumped on some rolling racks in the corner of the mattress department, seemingly all on clearance. This department seems to have been on its way out, as Sears has completely gotten rid of the housewares/small appliances department in the years since this visit (or at least shrunk it to the point where I haven't noticed it).
This is Sears/Kenmore, so it's quite possible that they were selling the same fridges in 2021 as they were in the mid-2010s! Sounds like we're on the same page when it comes to stainless steel too -- I recently had to buy a new dishwasher, and all of the appliance people I called seemed to think I was crazy for specifically wanting the white model! (I will say stainless steel is better than black, though -- I don't understand why people would want black appliances.)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sears probably had a lot of closeout stuff to sell in those days considering the rate at which they had been closing stores! There was sure a lot of clearance here, and I'm not sure how much of that was them downsizing this store and how much was having leftovers from other stores.
Cool stuff! It's too bad that DFW video is all exterior shots -- I'd love to see more stuff from that era from inside the terminals, especially with the original people mover system. DFW is a fascinating airport even today, and it was so ahead of its time when it was built. It's also by far the busiest airport in the US that I've never visited -- I really need to get there some day! (Too bad it's a hub for an airline that I'm not exactly a fan of...)
