Rumor: The Store Going in the Old Sears Building is… Sears?
With Sears stores mostly closing down across the United States, including the one at our Valley Mall location last year, there's been a lot of talk on what's going in the old Sears location. Some said it could be a Dave and Busters, some want to see something huge. Well, there's rumors going around that the store that's going into the old Sears is, well, a new Sears.
How does this make any sense?
Well, consider this.
Toys R Us closed a few years ago. Then, about a year or so later, we had a smaller, more simple version of a Toys R Us inside our Valley Mall. Sure, it's not exactly the same but still fun to see.
I could see Sears doing something like this, too.
It doesn't have to be the mega-Sears we've had in the past, but just enough of one to satisfy us through the Christmas seasons.
According to my friend Rocky, he said there was someone paining the outside of Sears and, when asked if he knew anything, the painter said that Sears was coming back.
I guess we'll see soon enough. In the meantime you can always shop at the Southcenter Mall location as that Sears is still open.
