His name escapes me, but I remember his style.
The salesman was older and had a low-key manner that sold me.
He worked for DeSears Appliances at their old Palmetto store.
I was outfitting my new kitchen and spent a small fortune on it five years ago.
Oven and microwave.
Dishwasher.
Refrigerator.
He took good care of me.
That the DeSears retailer closed Wednesday after 62 years is what brings it to mind.
I’ve lived here barely a decade, yet the end of the Bradenton-based chain gives me pause.
When its Denver-based parent company filed for Chapter 11 several weeks ago, perhaps it was just a matter of time.
Still, the finality hits home.
