Sears Boxing Day Online: The Store That Never Closes

Special Deals for Christmas Day and Boxing Day on www.sears.ca

TORONTO , Dec. 24 /CNW/ - Yesterday, Sears Canada Inc. (TSX: SCC), considered Canada's only true national retailer, distributed its biggest Boxing Weekend Sale flyer ever, and announced its plans to open almost all its stores at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 26 to provide its customers with ample time to take advantage of the deeply discounted merchandise offerings including Home Electronics, Major Appliances, Christmas Trees, Cards and Wrap, and Apparel for the entire family.

Sears recognizes that many of its customers prefer to shop from home, as its catalogue customers have been doing for over 55 years! This is especially true when the weather can be unpredictable.

Today, the Company is announcing to Canadians across the country that Boxing Day will begin in the wee hours of the morning of Saturday, December 26 on its website at www.sears.ca in advance of stores opening, for those who want to get an even earlier start on Boxing Day bargains or who wish to shop from the comfort of their home.
