History
Prior to 1993, The Warehouse Partners had a partnership with BI-LO to open up a few BI-LO branded warehouses. In 1993, the partnership ended, and The Warehouse Partners announced that they made a deal with Sears Roebuck and Company to rebrand the BI-LO Warehouse stores into Sears Warehouse stores.

In 2005, as per purchase of Sears by Kmart Holding Corporation, Sears Warehouse partnership was retained, however Sears Holdings Corporation became the new partner replacing the latter.

In 2007, Sears Warehouse announced that they purchased the former Sears Distribution Center location in CityPoint, North Carolina to make it their first standalone headquarters location, moving away from the Warehouse Center office building. The Warehouse Partners was kept for the partnership company.

In January 2012, it was announced that 2 locations would close down as a result of Sears Holdings demise.

On April 23, 2014, Sears Holdings did announced to end their partnership with The Warehouse Partners due to underperformance, but as of July 2014, Sears Holdings retained the partnership.

In 2016, it was announced that a new Sears Warehouse would be built in the former space of Golfsmith's store. The new store would have featured aisles that are dedicated to Sears and Kmart products, would have a food court featuring Blimpie's, Auntie Anne's, and Moe's Southwest Grill, and have a new logo for the warehouse chain. But by January 2017, the plans were canceled.

In October 2018, Sears Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The partnership wasn't affected by the bankruptcy.

Now Sears Warehouse is owned by Transform Holdco LLC and The Warehouse Partners.
