Championing the Canadian consumer,
Canada's largest appliance and
furniture retailer offers service,
credits for Sears warranty holders and job opportunities for
displaced employees
EDMONTON, Nov. 2, 2017 /CNW/ - The Brick announced today
increased efforts to serve the Canadian market through the launch
of a new appliance service program for customers impacted by the
closure of Sears Canada, as well as increased hiring efforts for
former Sears employees.
The Brick, with its relationship with all major appliance
suppliers, is ready to provide repair services to Sears customers
who may be left stranded without repair service options. To help
offset the costs for servicing an appliance, The Brick is offering
to Sears extended warranty holders a $100 gift card that can be used toward future
purchases at The Brick. For Sears customers still covered within
the one-year manufacturing warranty, The Brick is offering
expedited servicing for most major brands at no cost to the
consumer.
"An appliance is a major purchase for a customer, and often
they purchase an extended warranty because it offers peace of mind.
With the current situation, some customers have been left in the
cold," says Dave Freeman,
president, The Brick. "We want to alleviate some of this
customer frustration by providing an alternative for those who need
to have their appliances serviced or repaired. We are here to
help."
The Brick is the largest Canadian appliance retailer, with over
200 stores under their The Brick, The Brick Outlet, The Brick
Mattress Store, TheBrick.com and Midnorthern Appliances banners.
Through its installation and repair division, Trans Global Service,
they offer unparalleled repair coverage from coast to coast.
The Brick's health and continued expansion is also the driving
force behind its proactive efforts to employ staff who will be
displaced by the Sears closure. The Brick is conducting job fairs
nationally in markets with Sears store closures to help fill in
approximately 300 open positions across the country.
"We have served the Canadian customer for over 47 years and
we've been able to do so by listening to their unique and ongoing
needs. As a proudly Canadian company, we are honoured to have the
continued support of the market, and we are committed to serving
our customers and doing what we can to help the industry as a
whole," added Freeman.
Starting November 6th
Sears customers can call 1-866-331-0433 to book service calls or
visit www.thebrick.com/Service for more information. Any Sears
staff interested in participating in the job fair can contact
Careers@thebrick.com.
