The major appliance market share that Sears still holds, though drastically diminished under Lampert's watch, will become a significant windfall for Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, and super regionals such as H.H. Gregg and P.C. Richards. JC Penney's ill advised attempt to re enter this business will not succeed in my opinion, but they will continue to benefit from the ongoing and now near complete collapse of Sears' apparel, accessories, footwear, housewares and soft home businesses. Kohl's will benefit in that regard as well. Sears' hardware and lawn and garden businesses will be an ongoing source of opportunity for DIY and discount retailers, both national, regional and local. Walmart and Target, along with various dollar stores will also see market share opportunities coming to them when Kmart ceases to exist.
