Sounds very much like the old Sears business model.

Locals are more likely to support their neighbors. Enhanced focus on the client. Big box stores often beat on price, but come up short on customer service.

The Sears Hometown Store provides customers a place to can find appliance brands, lawn and garden equipment plus any product from the entire merchandise selection offered by Sears. Order online and pick up in the store without a shipping charge.

Misunderstood Sears Hometown, Confused For The Near-Death Sears Holdings, Offers Massive Upside Potential (3/27/18)

Summary

At $2, the company sells for an inconceivable .21x book, .02x sales, 25% of net current assets, and has a 41% adjusted net debt to tangible equity ratio.

The company is turning around, and is likely to report a small positive adjusted EBITDA for 2017. Gross margins improved by about 300 basis points in the most recent quarter.

The company will complete the separation of its I.T. systems from Sears Holdings over the next couple months, reducing systemic risk.

Reflecting its strong balance sheet, the company has inked direct buying deals with Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, and Husqvarna. It has also just recently obtained a new $40 million term loan.

Insiders, and 60% shareholder Eddie Lampert, are buying shares in the open market. The short position, at 145 days-to-cover, may be the highest on Nasdaq, creating extraordinary short squeeze potential.

After posting, I believe it to be a value trap.

[Perfectshot23]

Yet it keeps drifting lower.

[capitalismforever]

The majority of SHOS debt is originated through its former parent company which means negotiating the terms of that debt is extremely easy because their largest shareholder also controls the parent company.

[capitalismforever]

One of the best things about this stock is that very few people are following it.

[capitalismforever]

Edward Lampert owns 57% of the business and has been purchasing shares of late.

[capitalismforever]

SHOS has nearly $12 per share in book value and is currently trading for $3.10 pps.
