Sears: The Amazon Before Amazon — And Why It Collapsed
Before Amazon, there was Sears — a retail empire built on paper catalogs, railroads, warehouses, and trust. Long before online shopping, Sears delivered almost anything to your doorstep, from clothes and tools to entire houses. But the company that helped invent remote shopping eventually failed to survive the next revolution in convenience. In this Curiosity episode, we explore how Sears became the “Amazon before Amazon” — and why even the strongest business ideas can collapse when they stop evolving. #Sears #Amazon #BusinessHistory #RetailHistory #Curiosity #Documentary #Ecommerce #Innovation #CompanyDownfall #ForgottenEmpires
