Let’s Take a Look Inside the Reopened Sears at Valley Mall [PHOTOS]

Sears has officially reopened at Valley Mall. With the holidays fast approaching, a trip to Sears was always in the cards to get stuff you need for anyone in the house. Power tools, laundry machines, beds, clothing and all of those stands that are full of stocking stuffers. Those were always fun to see what they had.

When Sears closed last November in Yakima it was a sad day for our valley. Today is a great day as it has officially reopened for all to browse, shop, and relive those past magical moments as Valley Mall is home to one of the few Sears stores. Take advantage of it while you can!

Here's a look inside the store. You'll see plenty of new items marked down significantly competing with prices with the best of them.

I wish Sears all the luck and hopefully this is more than just a holiday rereun as I'd love to see Sears as an option to shop through the years to come.
