Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores, Inc. will open its newest CaliforniaSears Hometown Store on January 28 inside the Nelson Ace Hardware store at 2051 High Street in Selma. The Selma location marks the 3rd opening of a new Sears Hometown Store in 2016 and the 3rd opening of a new store across all of Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores formats. Unlike most retail concepts, Sears Hometown Stores combine the value, selection and services associated with larger retail stores but are owned and operated by a member of the local community.

This unique store format allows customers in small communities to have access to the great products and brands usually found only in Sears stores. For instance, the new Sears Hometown Store in Selma is the only place in town where customers can find an incredible selection of the top appliance brands such as Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Bosch, Frigidaire and GE, plus a large assortment of lawn and garden equipment, Craftsman tools, fitness equipment, electronics, mattresses and more.
