These stores were designed to be much larger than the typical in-store Sears furniture department, which averages around 7,800 square feet. Sears opened HomeLife stores as stores-in-a-store to replace the existing furniture departments of their full-line Sears stores. Other Sears HomeLife stores were opened as free-standing locations. Sears sold the stores to Citicorp Venture in 1999, which changed the chain's name to "HomeLife". More locations opened, some inside large Sears stores or near the store depending on space availability. HomeLife closed its last stores in 2001. In Puerto Rico, a few HomeLife locations are still operating.
- Sears Home & Life are stores that sell "hardline" goods such as appliances, tools, mattresses, and lawn and garden equipment. These stores are free-standing and are around 10,000 to 15,000 square feet (930 to 1,390 m2) in size. On April 4, 2019, Sears announced that it planned to open three locations. These stores, located in Anchorage, AK, Lafayette, LA, and Overland Park, KS, opened May 24, 2019.

- Sears Outlet is an outlet version of Sears department stores located in various retail locations across the United States. The stores carry new, one-of-a-kind, out of a carton, discontinued, used, scratched and dented merchandise at 20–60% off regular retail price. While a wide variety of products are available, appliances make up a large majority of available merchandise. Sears Outlet stores were once known as Sears Surplus. Many former Kmarts have been converted to serve as Sears Outlets, though these often take up less than half the floor space. Each store, on average, is larger than 18,000 square feet in size.
