Sears, Roebuck and Co., most often referred to simply as Sears, is a chain of department stores located throughout the US. Founded in the latter part of the 19th century by Richard Sears and Alvah Roebuck, Sears and Roebuck started out as a mail order catalog catered to people who had moved west during the country's westward expnansion. In 1925, Sears began building retail storefronts, the first of which opened in Evansville, IN. By the middle of the 20th century, it was the largest retailer in the US. In 2005, Sears merged with Kmart to expand its market share, but by that time, it had already been overtaken in the rankings by larger retailers.
