HQ Function

The Hoffman Estates headquarters managed strategic planning, operations, marketing, merchandising, and support for all Sears Auto Center locations nationwide.

Notable Features:

The Sears Holdings campus was a large, multi-building corporate complex set on extensive grounds, designed to consolidate various Sears operations.

Work Culture:

Historically, the work culture would have been aligned with a large retail corporation, focusing on customer service, sales targets, and operational efficiency. In later years, it likely faced challenges related to the parent company's financial struggles.

HQ Significance:

This location was the nerve center for one of the largest auto service chains in the U.S., tied to the iconic Sears retail brand, influencing automotive service standards and accessibility for millions.

Values Reflected in HQ: In its prime, the operations driven from HQ would have reflected Sears' values of trust, reliability, nationwide service consistency, and value for money for automotive services.

Location:

Sears Auto Centers operated primarily in the United States. Historically, there was also a presence in Canada through Sears Canada, which also ceased operations. Their core function globally was providing automotive repair and maintenance services, tire sales, and parts. There was no significant operational presence outside North America.
