Sears Offers Customers Weekly Black Friday Deals

'Black Friday Now' Means You Don't Have to Wait to Start Saving on this
Seasons' Hottest Items

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears kicks off the holidays by
celebrating Black Friday deals now -- offering them weekly -- with layaway
options for these deals just in time for Christmas. Starting Saturday, Oct.
31, and continuing every Saturday until Christmas, Sears will offer Black
Friday deals making gift giving even easier and more affordable with
guaranteed best prices through Christmas on the best brands. From home
electronics and kitchen and housewares to jewelry and apparel, shoppers will
find incredible selections and values for their holiday shopping needs.

The "Black Friday Now" deals were created when customers asked for day-after
Thanksgiving doorbuster values earlier in the season. Customers, particularly
those who don't enjoy the thrill of hitting the stores at 4 a.m. on the day
after Thanksgiving for amazing deals, like the "Black Friday Now" concept
because it gives them more options to get great offers on each of the five
consecutive Saturdays through Thanksgiving.

A sample of Sears "Black Friday Now" deals for Saturday, Oct. 31 include:
-- 50 percent off (save $200) Craftsman® 302-piece mechanic's tool sets
-- $79.99 (reg. $259.99) 3/8 ct. tw. diamond stud earrings

length

All "Black Friday Now" events will occur on Saturdays from 7 a.m. until 12
p.m. local time except for this week. Due to Halloween, doorbusters will
start on Friday (Oct. 30) at 5 p.m. as a preview event through Saturday 12
p.m. local time.

On Nov. 7th, as part of "Black Friday Now" deals, Sears will exclusively offer
a 42" Zenith Plasma TV for only $499 (reg. $649.99). Customers can pre-order
this great deal as of Oct. 29 on Sears.com.

"Sears continues to look for ways to provide values to customers by offering a
wide variety of products throughout the holidays," said Don Hamblen, Sears'
chief marketing officer. "From our exclusive brands, Craftsman and Kenmore®,
to excellent deals on home electronics and apparel, as well as layaway, Sears

store and was recently launched online, enabling them to reserve great
merchandise -- including all "Black Friday Now" specials -- pay in
installments and pick up items just in time for the holidays. Real Time Price
Check is available through the Blue Christmas Crew for Sears' customers. The
pricing is current and Sears will match competitors' advertised prices on the
same product giving the customer the lowest prices available.

ShopYourWay(TM) which allows for shopping to revolve around the customer 24/7.
