Anyone hear about the Grand Opening of a Sears store in Annapolis Mall -- known as Westfield Shopping Town to its owners -- this Saturday?

In light of the Sears complaint columns I've been writing and the countless e-mails I've received about bad service at Sears (some of which I've posted on this blog, I found it pretty interesting that Excellent Reader Joe wrote in yesterday to tell me that a little birdie told him that "the president of Sears was coming from Chicago for a ribbon cutting on Saturday."

Joe's not sure if it's Eddie Lampert, the chairman of Sears Holdings, or if it's W. Bruce Johnson, Sears Holdings' interim president and CEO. He's only heard that it's a head honcho.

I'm out of the office today, but if I get a chance I'll try to make a call to see if I confirm this.

If it's true, I wonder if any of the readers who complained about service want to be part of the welcoming party on Saturday? And if so, do you want to report back to us about the glorious event?
