The Life of Richard Warren Sears

Richard moves to the small town of Redwood, Minnesota to begin work in a small town where he believes he would find more work. He worked in a railroad station and if it wasn’t for him working there, he might have never begun to sell watches. Selling the watches eventually led to the creation of Sears.

    Richard Warren Sears is the creator of the well-known store Sears. He was born on December 7, 1963 in Minnesota. Richard began work when his dad lost his wealth and he needed to step in and support his family. In his free time, he learned how the mail delivery system worked, so that later in life he could be successful in that career. Richard began working in a small town railroad station to make money. Richard made a profit when he sold watches that were rejected by the original buyer  that were shipped in to the station.. When he sold the watches, he made a profit. Eventually, he left the Railroad station to start his own mail-order business. Today, we know Richards’s mail- order store as Sears.
