BUSINESS/TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA: “Trump-branded consumer products have suffered new blows, with U.S. retailers Sears Holdings Corp and Kmart Corp discontinuing online sales of 31 Trump Home items, while new details emerged showing sales of Ivanka Trump’s brand fell in the weeks before Nordstrom Inc stopped carrying her products.
Sears and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kmart, disclosed their decision on Saturday [2-11-17], saying it was part of a push to focus their online business on the most profitable items.
Separately, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that Nordstrom sales of Ivanka Trump’s brand had dropped sharply before the retailer discontinued sales this week.”
