The Sears Holdings culture is one that places a high priority on teamwork and a focus on customers. The Partners in Progress program allows our company to recognize those suppliers who have gone above and beyond to support Sears Holdings and help us to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness."
"We're honored to be recognized by a major retailer like Sears Holdings for our long-standing commitment to delivering a variety of wireless products that fit the needs of Sears, Kmart and their customers," said Mike Cost, President of Brightstar U.S. "It's a privilege to partner with them to provide retail solutions that ensure that every Sears and Kmart store has the right product at the right place at the right time and at the right price."
Cost added that Brightstar is committed to delivering innovative retail solutions that increase efficiency and create cost savings to enhance both the customer and the consumer experience. Brightstar's retail services span from "next generation" packaging solutions to complete category management at the point of sale.
