It is refreshing to walk into our store and see how we’ve revolutionized the decision-making process.”

This unique store format allows customers in small communities to have access to the great products and brands usually found only in Sears stores.

The Marion team is excited to provide customers with professional advice, exceptional service and real-time price checks to make sure they receive the guaranteed lowest price.
