A game-changing shopping resource within the toy industry, these virtual shopping destinations allow customers to use QR codes to identify product information, imagery and pricing to make purchases from airports, malls, movie theaters and bus shelters around the country.

"With the hectic holiday season, we know how important it is to make shopping as convenient as possible, which is why we are bringing the Sears and Kmart shopping experience to places that correspond with our customers' everyday routines," said Hugo Malan, SVP and president, Fitness, Sporting Goods and Toys. "As more shoppers head online to do their holiday shopping, consumers are now able to be more productive during their wait time.

Additionally, Sears and Kmart continue to provide customers with industry-leading mobile apps that empower them to make purchasing decisions on their own time.

The Sears Toy Shop mobile walls are available in select malls across the country鈥攆rom the New York area (Galleria White Plains) to Dallas (Northeast Mall). The Kmart Fab 15 walls will also be accessible in movie theater lobbies in major markets, such as Boston and Los Angeles. Additionally, shoppers can find the Sears and Kmart mobile walls in airports in Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Puerto Rico, and at bus shelters nationwide, so that customers can transform their wait time into productive time.

"Our mobile shopping walls are not only convenient because of their unexpected locations, but they offer easy shipping options as well," said Julia Fitzgerald, chief digital engagement officer, Toys and Sporting Goods for Sears Holdings. "Our goal is to make holiday shopping so simple that customers can find the perfect gift while they are traveling or going about their daily lives, and have them waiting at their doorstep when they arrive home."
