Call it an Extreme Breakover: It’s a break room restyled by Ty Pennington of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” A Sears store in Alexandria, La., won the honor for its outstanding customer service.
Pennington–who also designs a line of home accessories for Sears–arrived with his police escort Saturday morning for a ceremony to show off the room, and received keys to the city for his efforts.
Store workers, who reportedly were wowed by Pennington’s design, decided that a $5,000 donation to charity–also part of the prize–should go to Hope House, a center for homeless women and children.
