We offer competitive pricing on a wide selection of name brand appliances, tools and home and garden equipment,” said Robert Erickson, owner of the Sears Hometown Store in Friday Harbor. “We look forward to becoming a trusted partner in the community.”

This unique store format allows customers in small communities to have access to the great products and brands usually found only in Sears stores. For instance, the new Sears Hometown Store in Friday Harbor is the only place in town where customers can find an incredible selection of the top appliance brands such as Kenmore®, Maytag®, KitchenAid®, Whirlpool®, Bosch®, Frigidaire® and GE®, plus a large assortment of lawn and garden equipment, Craftsman® tools, fitness equipment, electronics, mattresses and more. 

The Friday Harbor team is excited to provide customers with professional advice, exceptional service and real-time price checks to make sure they receive the guaranteed lowest price.
