Home warranty provider Service America shutting down after 43 years

In business, some companies are so old that they seem invincible. Sears, Kodak, Toys R’ Us – their former dominance made their inevitable fall unthinkable. And yet, as of 2019, all three companies have fallen. Taken down by market forces, they are no longer a part of the consumer landscape.
