I still remember the commercials as a kid and i'm 36 now and they are still stuck in my head till this day "Come See The Softer Side Of Sears" , Sears sure will be missed by many Wallie
I love how people lament over a loss of a major chain store dinosaur. Yet like myself you would be hard pressed to remember the last time you spent a dime at Sears. Great channel!
Well, up until Sears was gone out of the Pittsburgh area, I actually did some routine shopping there. I didnt do anymore once they all left. When we were in Texas and I saw these locations, I was happy I could pick up a few things from there. Just hated how it was closing and knowing I wouldn't be able to shop there again.
I bet Sears & his partner Roebuck are probably turning in their graves with their company going under. I'm not sure what the real reason why this chain is closing except only what I hear on here. I guess I'll need to research stories not that I'm saying anyone is wrong so please don't get mad at me. Take care!
I'm sad to hear Sears is going out. I'm 58 years old and I remember Sears when I was a kid. You had your big 3: Sears, JC Penny and Montgomery Ward. My folks shopped at Sears all the time. They got appliances from there. Tools.
Hey Wallis! I was on the construction crew that renovated the store around 2001-ish and believe it or not it was a former Montgomery wards and you would not believe all the Wards memorabilia that was just trashed The company I worked for had a very strict policy about not taking anything off the property and they had LP watching us sad to see the store go
Wow thats a shame nothing could be saved. It all got erased from history. Its neat though to hear from someone who actually helped build that Sears. So cool! Sad that this store is now gone.
Yeah here too in Seattle metro there used to be so many Sears locations yet there is only one left in a suburb called Tukwilla. There was one in Redmond WA that was always crowded with people from Microsoft but I think that one closed as the land was worth a fortune and is now being redeveloped in to large ugly towers.
Wallie - I was traveling on highway 64 going east towards Huntington, WV, I think it was near Cannonsburg, KY - as I was driving towards Huntington, WV on the left was an INTACT ABANDONED KMART with all the signage and everything. I wanted to stop and get pictures for you - but I have trouble walking and I couldn't. Happy Hunting. I tried to search on internet where it was - but couldn't find it. Good luck.
I just went with my mom to one of the malls that has a Sears in my area - I also suspect they will be liquidating soon. It used to be 3 floors - Men's and Kids/Toddler section on the 3rd floor, Home/Tools/Mattresses on the 2nd floor, and Women's/Shoes/Accessories/Jewelry on the main floor. They closed down the 3rd floor and sealed off the escalator, so now the 2nd floor is whatever they have left of Home/Tools combined with limited Men's clothing, and the main floor is a very limited selection of Women and Kid's stuff, with the Jewelry counter left abandoned. Some spaces are almost totally empty save for a few racks of clothing. Almost everything was 70% off. There were also 5 employees tops on both floors. It's really sad to see.
Thank you for posting the video about the Sears at Hulan Mall it brought tears to my eyes. My husband worked at Sears for 23 years as a second job. In 1980 he began working at the Sears store at the Seminary South Shopping Center, Fort Worth in the "Loss Prevention" Department. Loss Prevention is another name for Security officer. He worked at the Seminary Store until it was closed and moved to Hulan Mall in the space that was previously a Montgomery Wards store. Me and my children have many fond memories of his time working at Sears. It saddens me to see all the Sears and K-Mart stores closing. I worked for 10 years at the K-Mart store in Fort Worth near the Seminary South Sears. Thanks again for the memories.
So sad to see something go that was so close to where I grew up. Although I didn't spend much time specifically in the Sears, Hulen Mall was one of my favorite malls growing up, the second closest one and the closest "big" one. Thank you for being in the area at the right time to capture it. Also, Kayla is absolutely adorable even without the blue hair.
Ridgemar and Hulen Malls were my childhood malls from 1983-2005. A group of us from Castleberry High would go to the mall on the weekends just to hang out from 1997-2000
Have you ever covered the Pizza Hut in Washington, PA? It's right next door to Old Mexico (near the former Washington Mall), and looks like it's been closed quite a while.
I forgot about that place! I didnt remember it again until last month when I had to stop at Enterprise Rent-A-Car for my job across the street and I saw it first hand. If I wasn't on the clock, I would have swung over there to film it. I'll get it soon though. Just have to do it on my own time.
I’ve wondered what is the most updated sears you’ve been to? The most updated sears I’ve seen to so far was the one where I live in Albuquerque New Mexico. It closed in 2018 though. A furniture store took over and it still looks the same inside except with furniture and home decor stuff.
The most updated Sears store I've been to is the one in Mesquite, TX just outside of Dallas. Ill have a video from that location very soon. That was one of the nicest looking Sears I've been to yet.
Wow what a difference! One day it's normal and then the next day, huge going out of business sale. Such a shame! If all the Sears goes out of business, what is Eddie Lampert going to do or work at?
Darn shame Sears and Kmart are like this now. I'm sure 20 years ago this store was booming. Hearing that door chime on that door takes me back as a kid.
Sears is an amazing company, they will survive. Covid was hard on every retail store. Summer is coming and sales will be back up again. Sears is doing well online and they have a lot of stores in Mexico because they'll liked over there. I love Sears stores as I continue to buy from Sears in the store and online. Great customer service, great prices, American made products. God bless Sears
Republic Of Ireland open there shops last week, North Ireland open yesterday on Friday, and rest of the U.K. (England) are open Monday. Some shops creased trading for good, from coved-19.
Sears Willowbrook, Wayne, New Jersey has been closed for a while now. They turned half of Sears into a Dave & Buster’s the other half of Sears is vacant.They knocked down the Sears Auto Center and put up a movie theater.
Can you come film the 2 Sears at Woodfield Mall and Chicago Ridge Mall? We only have 2 left in Illinois Also Luxoticca (owner of Sears Optical, Lenscrafters, and a few others) closed all Sears Opticals in February 2020, the one by me at Woodfield Mall is now a fixture graveyard blocked off by garden sheds and lawn mowers
Every sears that closes makes me sad. They all closed here in Canada in 2018. Our local store had been open since 1958 and had never been renovated. I felt like a part of my childhood died when that store closed. It had an elevator just like the one in your video. Super small and slow.
I'm assuming the Sliver Spring Maryland Kmart will be the final in the state. I found out they terminated the lease at the Edgewater Kmart so it could close at any moment.
What was to your immediate right, across from the Sears Optical? I know there was a portrait studio there but I want to know what was those double doors?
It's sad to see it go. U should come to Michigan and film some of our abandoned k-marts and Sears and other abandoned buildings around the state. I love u ur so funny and it makes me want to go explore abandoned buildings.
No more then 300 people at a time wow! But has anyone seen one of those at a Wal-Mart? Nooooo... have a cousin that works there and he said they can have 975! wtf
OMG, talk about a tiny elevator! Isn't that a violation of fire code? Also, that guy who said whatever he did as you guys happened to be getting out of the elevator was just so random and hilarious!
We have an open Sears in my hometown in Pikeville KY looks nothing like this sears all our sales is tools and appliance ours is the size of a Dollar General Store believe it or not but ours is usually very busy everyday. Congrats on 25,000 you tube subscribers I have been a subscriber for a while now enjoy watching your videos. Have a Kmartlicious day lol.
They have those sears handles at my new local sears at woodfield mall except some of them got destroyed when the car drove through it, the second floor is pretty empty at woodfield.
I read this on theLayoff.com Makes sense to expand the food court. Also I have seen the Sears mall stores here in Southern California follow the same procedure, the second floor gets emptier and emptier... next thing you know the store closing sale signs appear. Dang, they even closed Sears at South Coast Plaza. High revenues are a no-brainer at that mall!
I remember going and shopping at sears in the mall last time I went there it was opened still then came to the mall a few weeks later and it would closed
Before this stupid so called virus Sears & I think Kmart were not going to close, I forget how I read the story but still sad Sears continue to close. Thank you for sharing!
Wallie, you and Kayla crack me up. I hope what that person is saying about abusing your girlfriend is absolutely not true. You seem like a cool, funny, and mostly sweet person. I love your channel. My ex threatened to kill me and our kids more than once. I threw his ass out forever finally, so we can live in peace, and I can relax and watch Wallieb26, and live my life much better. Thanks for the awesome videos. Be good to Kayla.
It's not. It's the same guy who has been trolling me and several other youtubers for over a year and a half. He said the same stuff about GRM Adventures and it didnt work there either. Check out this video link below and you'll see what I'm talking about. That same guy comments on there CONSTANTLY with multiple multiple fake accounts with the sole purpose of trolling and just being stupid. This is just what he does. I noticed he deleted his comment I pinned. th-cam.com/video/fX1cyJwALoM/w-d-xo.html
He'll make another new account either tomorrow or the next couple of days and say something stupid again until that channel gets blocked and the comment deleted. What I'm going to start doing now is, I'm going to pin his comments when he does this just so everyone can see what an idiot he is until he deletes them.
You mentioned the auto center, which reminded Die Hard batteries is now an Advanced Auto parts brand. Only $200 million for iconic brand. Happy to see the brand carry on, but sad to see Sears gone. What brands are left for Transformco to sell off?
And another thing sears has permanently closed all there optical locations, I saw it on there website, it was actually ran by the people who run target optical locations, way better location in target than sears.

Wally I agree with you 100% having those chains on that door is a fire hazard
I'm sad to hear Sears is going out. I'm 58 years old and I remember Sears when I was a kid. You had your big 3: Sears, JC Penny and Montgomery Ward. My folks shopped at Sears all the time. They got appliances from there. Tools.
The irony is that this particular store use to be a Wards.
All those big stores you mentioned arent so big anyone
Hey Wallis! I was on the construction crew that renovated the store around 2001-ish and believe it or not it was a former Montgomery wards and you would not believe all the Wards memorabilia that was just trashed The company I worked for had a very strict policy about not taking anything off the property and they had LP watching us sad to see the store go

We have 3 sears left in Illinois. My local one closed last year at Stratford Square mall in Bloomingdale Illinois.
Down to only one regular Sears in Colorado which happens to be a Grand. Also no more regular Sears in Wyoming nor Nebraska.
Yeah here too in Seattle metro there used to be so many Sears locations yet there is only one left in a suburb called Tukwilla. There was one in Redmond WA that was always crowded with people from Microsoft but I think that one closed as the land was worth a fortune and is now being redeveloped in to large ugly towers.
We also only have one full line Sears left in Maine.
Wallie - I was traveling on highway 64 going east towards Huntington, WV, I think it was near Cannonsburg, KY - as I was driving towards Huntington, WV on the left was an INTACT ABANDONED KMART with all the signage and everything. I wanted to stop and get pictures for you - but I have trouble walking and I couldn't. Happy Hunting. I tried to search on internet where it was - but couldn't find it. Good luck.
Just like the seats home town here today gone tommorow I miss going to Sears & k Mart even j c penny

Sears is like Kmart , a relic of the past.
The last Time I went to my sears it was so depressing. There was literally only three other customers, and two employees in the whole store!
Such a shame. Eddie for jail. For now there are 3 full line stores in the Chicago area.
So sad to see something go that was so close to where I grew up. Although I didn't spend much time specifically in the Sears, Hulen Mall was one of my favorite malls growing up, the second closest one and the closest "big" one.

So sad seeing this as a kid I had fond memories of this dept store but I hope something new comes in its place 2yrs on nothing yet
Some people are gonna miss sears so much but they’ll always remember the memories that they shopped inside
It's so sad for a once great company slowly dying
Ridgemar and Hulen Malls were my childhood malls from 1983-2005. A group of us from Castleberry High would go to the mall on the weekends just to hang out from 1997-2000
Glad you guys made it to Texas thanks for sharing this awesome sears building

the ac's probly controled my the main office

I am not surprised at anything closing anymore.
Wow what a difference! One day it's normal and then the next day, huge going out of business sale. Such a shame! If all the Sears goes out of business, what is Eddie Lampert going to do or work at?
So sad 😞 there goes another piece of my childhood, they closed the one near me now ughhh. Great video sir and thanks for sharing.
i'm really surprised there are any sears stores open anywhere...great video... thanks for posting
Darn shame Sears and Kmart are like this now. I'm sure 20 years ago this store was booming. Hearing that door chime on that door takes me back as a kid.
The store was originally a A Montgomery wards. It became a sears after wards closed.
It sucks that Sears and Kmart have been going through this slow death for so long. Eddie Lampert is such a crock of crap.
The last Sears over here in San Antonio, Tx was just like this store before they announced they were closing. The tool section was super empty
Coming from an architect, the doors being chained shut is a major fire code violation like you were saying.
goodvideo thankfully you came here before it closed forever.
I love your videos man, I could watch them for hours!
Big question, was it fast money Eddie or was it mall closing them down “ for the retail space” ?????????
Sears is an amazing company, they will survive. Covid was hard on every retail store. Summer is coming and sales will be back up again. Sears is doing well online and they have a lot of stores in Mexico because they'll liked over there. I love Sears stores as I continue to buy from Sears in the store and online.

I wonder how long it will be until my last Sears near me closes. So far it’s doing alright.
Make sure to go support it by shopping their as much as you can bc you never know when Sears Holdings will close that store
Cam Howe I’m planning on going sometime soon. It just reopened after being closed for 3 months.
Cam Howe Well, it just announced a closure.😭
I’m glad I got the chance to go on Sunday.
Sad to see another one bite the dust. Great video man!
I'm assuming the Sliver Spring Maryland Kmart will be the final in the state. I found out they terminated the lease at the Edgewater Kmart so it could close at any moment.
Don't know how I come across your saddle man but it's pretty awesome. I'm just saying dude keep up the good work
Thank you very much.
That font reminds me of the Come see the softer side of Sears commercials
What was to your immediate right, across from the Sears Optical? I know there was a portrait studio there but I want to know what was those double doors?
I cant remember exactly but I believe it was also part of the optical center. It appears that it had moved from one side to the other.
@@WallieB26 Thank you! I might have been the optometrist or the driving school. I just figured it out.
It's sad to see it go. U should come to Michigan and film some of our abandoned k-marts and Sears and other abandoned buildings around the state. I love u ur so funny and it makes me want to go explore abandoned buildings.
The Houston Sears got the axe this week. We will be down to 3 Sears in Texas now.
I live 15 to 20 minutes away. Last time I was in that store was in March. It was empty during that time.
Agreed back in the day my brother and I would hangout in the gaming section while our Parents shopped
That’s really sad because it has a beautiful fountain .
No more then 300 people at a time wow! But has anyone seen one of those at a Wal-Mart? Nooooo... have a cousin that works there and he said they can have 975! wtf
Sears didn't want to dream too big...
OMG, talk about a tiny elevator! Isn't that a violation of fire code? Also, that guy who said whatever he did as you guys happened to be getting out of the elevator was just so random and hilarious!
Walmart here got in trouble for blocking the entrances on their stores. They had to keep them all open
We have an open Sears in my hometown in Pikeville KY looks nothing like this sears all our sales is tools and appliance ours is the size of a Dollar General Store believe it or not but ours is usually very busy everyday. Congrats on 25,000 you tube subscribers I have been a subscriber for a while now enjoy watching your videos. Have a Kmartlicious day lol.
Excellent video Wallie!🤗
My childhood sear was northeast mall in Hurst. It closed in November.
They have those sears handles at my new local sears at woodfield mall except some of them got destroyed when the car drove through it, the second floor is pretty empty at woodfield.
I read that sears Woodfield is only gonna be on the first floor, the mall is putting a food court on the second floor.
Gale Chicago The food court was made right next to the sears, can you send the link you saw that from to see what they said?
I read this on theLayoff.com Makes sense to expand the food court. Also I have seen the Sears mall stores here in Southern California follow the same procedure, the second floor gets emptier and emptier... next thing you know the store closing sale signs appear. Dang, they even closed Sears at South Coast Plaza. High revenues are a no-brainer at that mall!
If you can come to laredo,tx the sears and bealls here are closing at our mall
Malls will never be the same without Sears!
What do you think will replace this building since hulen mall is a super busy mall
18:55 Have A Searslicious Day!
I remember going and shopping at sears in the mall last time I went there it was opened still then came to the mall a few weeks later and it would closed
Awesome video long
R.I.P SEARS IN DALLAS FORTH WORTH, TEXAS
R.I.P SEARS IN DALLAS FORTH WORTH, TEXAS
WHY?
Great video Wallie!
Sad sight to see :(, the last Sears in Ohio is also closing and unfortunately I would not be able make it up there.
So sad to see another sears close
WallieB Excellent Video! Just wondering if you had any plans to come out to the west coast? Shout out to Kayla & “Stay Awesome” 😎
If we can save up and coordinate a plan for trip out there, then absolutely. I would love to see the west coast at least once.
That elevator was geez small. Could not imagine more people in there at same time.
I still have a Sears Auto Center receipt for tires pot on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee
We got an Abandoned Sears in Corpus Christi TX
Coincidently, just found out the one here in Arlington's closing too.
Good video, sad another Sear's is closing.
I worked for the company. Saddness I seen it start with The Great Indoors, to an outlet.. All about realestate..
Before this stupid so called virus Sears & I think Kmart were not going to close, I forget how I read the story but still sad Sears continue to close. Thank you for sharing!
That a fire code Violation
Good video Guys, sadly the last sears in Ohio is now closing :( at least I can document it on my channel.
Wallie, you and Kayla crack me up. I hope what that person is saying about abusing your girlfriend is absolutely not true. You seem like a cool, funny, and mostly sweet person. I love your channel.

You mentioned the auto center, which reminded Die Hard batteries is now an Advanced Auto parts brand. Only $200 million for iconic brand. Happy to see the brand carry on, but sad to see Sears gone. What brands are left for Transformco to sell off?
The only thing transforming are their pockets. It's shameful what Lampert has done to this once proud company. Should be illegal, IMO.
I'm pretty sure at this point they sold off all of their brands to other companies. Like with Craftsman. You can buy Craftsman tools at Lowes now.
you should go to the Sears in Arlington it's closing too and it's not that far from Fort Worth. I used to go there
I did! That's my next video!
WallieB26 I'm excited!
To quote The Everly Brothers ....So Sad ( To Watch Good Love Co Bad ).
And another thing sears has permanently closed all there optical locations, I saw it on there website, it was actually ran by the people who run target optical locations, way better location in target than sears.
Big sears
Gee, this was a nice Sears store.
that hvac system must be broken, the ac at my local sears been broken for few years they just use fans through out the store
Gotta love fort worth my guy
14:21 that was 2 days before my Kmart was announced to close My Kmart was announced on May 30th 2020
I heard about this one closing and the last one in Ohio closing I feel sorry for these people that just got a job there and they are about to lose it
Sears has sold all it's brands to other companies, so there is no need to keep them open. The stores loose money every operating day!
Wallie there's a lot of abandoned places in Oklahoma you should come check them out
You can just say ABACUS came (the Liquidation Company Vulture Eddie uses for all his closings of both Sears and Kmart)...
Wally it was empty back in March.
Last time i was there all the clothes and shoes was downstairs so they moved some upstairs.
Nothing lasts forever.......I remember 89 when my brother managed the Musicland (remember music stores)....online killed all of it
Sears is STILL closing stores!? Will someone PLEASE step in and save this American icon!?
I'm afraid its too late at this point. There are so few left its probably too late to save the chain. I would love to be wrong but I dont know.
