Sears Holdings Corporation is offering, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the
accompanying letter of transmittal, to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000,000 of our 6 /
5 8% senior secured
notes due 2018 (which we refer to as the "exchange notes") for an equal principal amount of our outstanding 6 5/8% senior secured
notes due 2018. When we refer to "old notes," we are referring to the outstanding 6 /
5 8% senior secured notes due 2018. The
exchange notes will represent the same debt as the old notes, and we will issue the exchange notes under the same indenture as the old
notes.
The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 30, 2011, unless extended.
Terms of the Exchange Offer

· We are offering to exchange up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes for an equal principal

amount of the old notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

· You may withdraw tendered old notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

· The terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects (including principal amount, interest rate, maturity and
redemption rights) to the old notes for which they may be exchanged, except that the exchange notes generally will not be

subject to transfer restrictions or be entitled to registration rights, and the exchange notes will not have the right to earn
additional interest under circumstances relating to our registration obligations.

· Certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee our obligations under the exchange notes, including the payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the notes. These guarantees of the exchange notes will be senior secured obligations of the

subsidiary guarantors. Additional subsidiaries will be required to guarantee the exchange notes, and the guarantees of the
subsidiary guarantors will terminate, in each case in the circumstances described under "Description of the Exchange
Notes -- Subsidiary Guarantees."

· The exchange of old notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal

income tax purposes. See the discussion under the caption "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

both with origins dating to the late 1800s. We are a broadline retailer with 2,190 full-line and 1,358 specialty retail stores in the
United States operating through Kmart and Sears and 487 full-line and specialty retail stores in Canada operating through Sears
Canada Inc., a 92%-owned subsidiary, which we refer to as "Sears Canada." For fiscal year 2010, our revenue and net income
were $43,326 million and $133 million, respectively. For the 13 weeks ended April 30, 2011, our revenue and net loss were
$9,705 million and $170 million, respectively. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol
SHLD and as of April 30, 2011, we had an equity market capitalization of approximately $9.3 billion. Inventory and credit card

Summary Terms of the Exchange Offer
The following is a brief summary of the terms of the exchange offer. For a more complete description of the exchange
offer, see "Exchange Offer." In this section "Holdings," the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" refer only to Sears Holdings
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and not to any of its subsidiaries.

The Exchange Offer
We are offering to exchange up to $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount
of our 6 5/8% senior secured notes due 2018, which we refer to in this
prospectus as the "exchange notes," for an equal principal amount of the old
notes.

Old notes may be exchanged only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Exchange notes will be issued

only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess of $2,000.

The exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act. The terms of
the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the old
notes, except that the exchange notes are registered under the Securities Act and

are generally not subject to transfer restrictions, bear a different CUSIP number,
are not entitled to registration rights and do not have the right to earn additional
interest under circumstances relating to our registration obligations.

Subject to the terms of the exchange offer, we will exchange the exchange notes
for all of the old notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
expiration of the exchange offer.

Expiration of the Exchange Offer;
The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 30,
Withdrawal of Tender
2011, or a later date and time to which we may extend it. We do not currently
intend to extend the expiration of the exchange offer. You may withdraw your
tender of old notes in the exchange offer at any time before the expiration of the
exchange offer. Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be
returned without expense to you promptly after the expiration or termination of
the exchange offer.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal
amount of old notes being tendered for exchange. The exchange offer is subject
to customary conditions, which we may waive. See "Exchange Offer --
Conditions" for more information regarding the conditions to the exchange offer.
Procedures for Tendering Notes
To tender old notes held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust
Company, or "DTC," you must transfer your old notes into the exchange agent's
account in accordance with DTC's Automated Tender Offer Program, or
"ATOP" system. In lieu of delivering a letter of transmittal to the exchange
agent, a computer-generated message, in which the holder of the old notes
acknowledges and

Table of Contents
agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, must be transmitted
by DTC on behalf of a holder and received by the exchange agent before

5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. In all other cases, a letter
of transmittal must be manually executed and received by the exchange agent
before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

By signing, or agreeing to be bound by, the letter of transmittal, you will
represent to us that, among other things:

· you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business;

· you are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in, and have no arrangement or

understanding with any person or entity to participate in, a distribution of the
exchange notes (within the meaning of the Securities Act);

· you are not our "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities

Act); and

· if you are a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act, you are
participating in the exchange offer for your own account and are exchanging
old notes acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading

activities, you have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with
the Company or any affiliate of the Company to distribute the exchange notes,
and you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities
Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners
If you are a beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a
broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, and you want
to tender old notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered
owner promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If
you wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, before completing and
executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your old notes, either make
appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in your name or
obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. See
"Exchange Offer -- Procedures for Tendering."

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
If you wish to tender your old notes, and time will not permit your required
documents to reach the exchange agent by the expiration date, or the procedure
for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on time, you may tender your old
notes under the procedures described under "Exchange Offer -- Guaranteed
Delivery Procedures."

Consequences of Failure to Exchange
Any old notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer, or that are not
accepted in the exchange, will remain subject to restrictions on transfer. Since
the old notes have not been registered under the U.S. federal securities laws,
you will not be able to offer or sell the old

notes except under an exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act or
unless the old notes are registered under the Securities Act. Upon the completion

of the exchange offer, we will have no further obligations, except under limited
circumstances, to provide for registration of the old notes under the U.S. federal
securities laws. See "Exchange Offer -- Consequences of Failure to Tender."

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax
The exchange of old notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not
Considerations
constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Certain
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations."

Transferability
Under existing interpretations of the Securities Act by the staff of the SEC
contained in several no-action letters to third parties, and subject to the
immediately following sentence, we believe that the exchange notes will
generally be freely transferable by holders after the exchange offer without
further compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act (subject to certain representations required to be made by
each holder of old notes, as set forth under "Exchange Offer -- Procedures for
Tendering"). However, any holder of old notes who:

· is one of our "affiliates" (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act),

· does not acquire the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business,

· distributes, intends to distribute, or has an arrangement or understanding with

any person or entity to distribute the exchange notes as part of the exchange
offer, or

· is a broker-dealer who purchased old notes from us in the initial offering of

the old notes for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available
exemption under the Securities Act,

will not be able to rely on the interpretations of the staff of the SEC, will not be
permitted to tender old notes in the exchange offer and, in the absence of any

exemption, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange
notes.

Our belief is based on SEC interpretations given to other, unrelated issuers in
similar exchange offers. We cannot assure you that the SEC would make a

similar interpretation with respect to our exchange offer. We will not be
responsible for or indemnify you against any liability you may incur under the
Securities Act.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account under the

exchange offer in exchange for old notes that were acquired by the broker-dealer
as a result of market-making or other trading
