"We've experienced a record number of people engaged with the Sears ShopYourWay™ multichannel platform this Black Friday and on Cyber Monday, which proves we provide customers with the tools needed to easily find whatever they need when they need it," said Imran Jooma, senior vice president for Online at Sears Holdings.

"We are always listening to and acting on the feedback from our customers, including community members on MySears and MyKmart. As a result, we are making enhancements to create an improved shopping environment," said Jooma.
