When the Heck did this happen?
« on: January 22, 2011, 07:52:23 AM »

Sears selling lights, helmets, grips, and seats for motorcycles? Must have happened when they merged with the BIG K?

Yeah that all happened a few years ago when K mart bought out Sears. Kinda crazy when K Mart was going bankrupt just prior to this.

That page layout is VERY similar to the JC Whitney website layout and the same type of products.  I would suspect that there is some type of joint venture to use the JC Whitney site through the larger Sears retail market.

I've seen this done in other genre as well.

This way they ultimately sell more and everyone gets a piece of the pie.

Just my thoughts, I have nothing to really back them up though.
