DALLAS, Jan. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOS) announces that the Sears Outlet Store located in Farmers Branch, Texas has recently moved to a new location at 14060 Dallas Parkway in Dallas.

The new store includes a fresh look and improved merchandise layout coupled with the continued high level of service and products customers expect from locally owned Sears Outlet Stores. Unlike most retail concepts, Sears Outlet Stores combine the value, selection and services associated with larger retail stores but are owned and operated by a member of the local community.

“Our previous site was huge, which made it challenging to keep the sales flow engaging and succinct,” said Stephen Stark, owner of the new Sears Outlet Store in Dallas. “Our new location is easier for customers to access and has a much better layout for customers to shop. I’m confident they’ll enjoy our new location.”

Each Sears Outlet Store, on average, offers shoppers more than 18,000 square feet of retail space stocked with hundreds of items marked significantly lower than manufacturers' suggested retail prices. Sears Outlet provides customers in-store and online access to new, one-of-a-kind, discontinued, reconditioned, overstocked, and cosmetically blemished products across a broad assortment of merchandise categories—including home appliances, lawn and garden equipment, apparel, mattresses, sporting goods and tools.

Sears Outlet reconditioned merchandise undergoes a stringent testing process and, when necessary, have cosmetic parts replaced and/or repaired before becoming approved to be an Outlet Certified item. Customers purchasing a Certified Appliance or other item from a Sears Outlet Store should expect significant discounts off the original retail price, a fully functional and operational unit, and the assurance that the unit still meets Sears quality standards as the nation's leading retailer of appliances and appliance-related products. Customers also benefit from delivery and installation services offered by Sears Outlet.

The Sears Outlet Store in Dallas can be reached at (469) 374-0011 and is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. To learn more about Sears Outlet Stores, visit http://www.searsoutlet.com/.
