- Every few months Sears puts out a closing list, that hasn't changed since Eddie Lampert took control of the company. This has been a highly requested video, so I might as well get it out now. This store stands out because it remained pretty well put together and is one of the last anchors to an architecturally interesting mall that is now left with Burlington and Kohls as anchors. This video also features some fantastic drinks, extra mall footage, and a hollowed-out Macy's. I also managed to get this video to as close to 10 Minutes as possible!

I was there a few weeks back and released a video. That shoe department was a disaster when I was there. It was crowded with liquidation vultures, you know the non Sears shoppers. That upstairs was sort of junky. Glad you filmed the Macy's because it's gone.
Every Liquidation sale is like this sadly. I'm also happy I got the Macy's before it closed too!
I was a visual merchandising mgr for Sears and opened this store back in the day. An amazingly beautiful store when opened!!!
This at one time was a bustling mall.
I think a problem is that they close store to store and after sears they haven't opened since
Same vibes as Macy's, Stratford is such a sad story! Edit: JCPenney closed May 2014, not Jan 2015
Darn It...
@@LostDepartments yea, but at least I got Southlake though
0:29 Correction: JCPenney In Stratford Square Mall Was Closed In 2014 (Not 2015)

Why are you everywhere
It is tough.Stratford Square is about to lose it’s Round One amusement.
Can Kmart locations be in a mall?
JCPenney closed 2014
Hey, that is even my birthyear
this mall is dead i see it i bet a ancor will close in 2020 it is in a down fall
Nice vid
Thanks!!!
Lost Departments: You’re welcome, I should be filming a closing Sears as well soon up in Cincinnati Ohio, they just got announced after the first closure list, so this Sears in Cincinnati will be closing in December, and I’m going up to film it next weekend
How long do you give this mall, now that its anchors have gone *fut*?
I need some trash bags, I know we'll go to Sears in the mall smh.
Goodbye and good riddance to bad rubbish!
Who asked?
The Burlington looks like they are going to close up the location here. And at the old toys r us across the street looks like is is going to become a amazon grocery store because that is what is coming into the old babies r us in Schaumburg and the renovation looks the same.
Why you didn't show JCPenney before liquidation sales begin or closed?
Probably because he wasn't there when the JCPenney closed since that was back in 2014.
@@adriangama1775No. I am talking about he's showing before & after of the stores that closed in this video. He didn't show the before part of JCPenney
@@kittyboochanyesbongono8467 He never filmed the store when it was still open and the store closed back at 2014 and at that time, he didn't have this channel until 2017.
@@adriangama1775So he created his channel in the same year when Macy's closed?
@@kittyboochanyesbongono8467 This channel was created back in early August 2017 but an important thing to know is that he also had another channel called "Elevators+more" which was created back in 2016. He recorded the Macy's video in March 2017 and posted it on Elevators+more, months before this channel was created. To show that montage for the intro, he used the Macy's footage he had on his other channel. Elevators+more is now inactive, it stopped being active back in February 2020 while this channel still continues. For your question, yes but not the same month.
I like the intro with rain. The Starbucks cup, spilled beverage , out of place merchandise and trash were brought to you by stupid humans with no home training. They also have never experienced any authority in their lives. Good video and thanks for recording. 👍 😆
Thanks For Your Kind Words!
looking back at this it was sad to see this go it was the last store i liked in this mall
Really enjoy this mall. So sad to see all these anchor stores going away. The landscape is changing so much. Really quite the informative video.
Thanks!!!
This was the store we'd always enter into the mall through when coming here. Walking through the aisles with my parents excited to see if i can convince them to get me a new game at gamestop. Beautiful times
Can you plz come to the kenosha Wisconsin kmart that is now closing?
My Sears made my mall die
Sears can’t survive with such a low number of stores. Since emerging from bankruptcy management has done nothing to turn the business around. Makes it look like there was never any intention of doing so. Nice video.
So it seems now Sears/K-mart are shrinking again. From the list I saw today it appears Sears at least, is totally exiting the California market. Well under 200 stores under both banners are left. This is further evidence Sears is in a slow and painful liquidation. It has been for years. Unfortunately the only asset of worth now are the store leases. They have some value. It’s time to say goodbye to Sears and K-mart. As I said before there never was an intention to turn the business around.
Oh yeah this is a good thing to keep in mind kohl’s hates it wen you film at was at a store that was 1 day old and a worker was not happy
Did it close yet or is it still open?
It closed in November
Sad to see Stratford becoming a dead mall. It still looks better than Golf Mill.
It looks even more empty now.at Stratford.the express is said to close.not many names are left.it’s time to invest and try something new.i have some ideas that would some kind of life back.
Here now are all the non closing Sears locations: 1. Burbank, California. 2. Concord, California. 3. Stockton, California. 4. Whittier, California. 5. Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 6. Miami, Florida. 7. Orlando, Florida. 8. Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. 9. Braintree, Massachusetts. 10. Frederick, Maryland. 11. Jersey City, New Jersey. 12. Newburgh, New York. 13. Greensboro, North Carolina. 14. Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. 15. San Juan, Puerto Rico. 16. El Paso, Texas. 17. Tukwila, Washington. 18. Union Gap, Washington. A total of 18 non closing Sears stores. Separately, there is a booming separate company called Sears Mexico, owned by billionaire Carlos Slim that is doing quite well in Mexico
This mall
Is going to close it is coming it’s sad it’s a cool mall sad to see
Elevators 101 I live near here we still try to support it whenever we can and support the business that are there and hope that it gets better soon.
The Spring Hill mall sears is closing
😔
are you going to film sears for it's last christmas shoping season
Sears is also closing their store at the Avenues mall in Jacksonville, FL!
It’s the last part of the glue holding Stratford Square together.
This mall was great in the 1990's but once 2000 hit the mall never recovered. It had potential but with so many knock off stores and lack of management is what will bring it down.
This was the 4 th out of 6 anchors to close.this was such a beautiful mall.it offered something that woodfield didn’t.i really hope for Stratford that’s all there is left I’m afraid.so many names have come and gone.you have to think what could have been done to save Sears.we all know.invest in both your people and your foundation.make them both your core.it builds not only an idea.a name.a certain kind of trust,truth,and character that everyone can rely on.
So if the store is clean in spots it's because of the staff, but if it's dirty it's the customers really?
Very Sad
I deliver you some bad news, it was just announced today that Sears in West Dundee at Springhill mall will be closing in March 2020
I'm so sad about this. It was one of the top-performing Sears in the midwest.
Lost Departments: I know, but don’t worry, all of the Kmart in my state are closing now, which will leave one Sears store left in my entire state
