Sears is an American multinational mid-range department store chain. The official name of Sears is Sears, Roebuck & Company. The company was founded by Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck in 1893 as a mail order catalog. In 1925 it began opening physical stores. In 2005, it was purchased by the discount department store chain Kmart.
In "Stewie Kills Lois", Cleveland remarks that the Sears located near his house has an in-store McDonald's.
In "Vestigial Peter", Peter tries to shop at Sears for new clothes, insisting that he always shopped there in his youth despite Lois' warning that no one goes to Sears anymore. They discover it to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland with mutants. Peter gets them to take him to the clothing section but returns insisting on remaining with their band.
Stewie and Chris take their young orphaned squirrel to Sears Portrait Studio for a Christmas card shoot in "Boys & Squirrels". They are given the only photo in which the squirrel wasn't trying to bite their hand and are told there is no cost as Sears just went out of business.
