    Lived about 10 min. from this store, shopped there in the 60s and 70s till I moved to Fla. That Mall was huge for its time I think it had 99 stores.

    Lots of fixtures. That looks like a decent size store. Sears Optical & Sears Portrait Studio - now things of the past. Our Sears, in the River Valley Mall, closed close to this time last year. Another anchor gone. Elder-Beerman’s is next (end of August). Not good. 😕
    You looked very comfy on that couch! 😉. Glad to see you having fun!

    *The outside of that Sears looks so OLD! Never would have guessed that the mall wanted them out, especially with the way malls are going these days.*

    • @WillCMay
      @WillCMay 5 лет назад +1

      Richard Dremden Wolf Apparently this mall was ranked as "the healthiest mall in America". They probably wanted higher rent from Sears. Since Sears is financially in trouble, they couldn't afford to pay it. Strange Simon would get cocky about it's ranking in that though, Sears is unlikely to be replaced by anything in today's climate. The one possibility, Boscovs, already failed here. The surrounding area has 4 grocery stores, Home Depot, Kohls, and Office Depot, and there's already Dick's Sporting Goods, Target, and a movie theater at the mall. While they may be able to get a car body shop or an oil exchange to replace the auto center, Sears will not be replaced by anything that isn't Big Lots since virtually everything is already there, and I think if Big Lots would be to attempt to go into this area they'd go for the former Toys R Us that's by the Kohl's and Home Depot because they wouldn't want to pay South Hills Village prices.

    Some of them things some day might be worth money after sears becomes a thing of the past. I would think things with a Kenmore label like electronics. You had the room to store them for about 30 years. I like you're videos. I love vintage stores. Thanks for filming it.

    This is kind of sad. I no longer live in PGH, but I used to come here as a young kid and I have some fond memories of entering the mall through the entrance around 6:21 and walking through Sears to get to the rest of the mall. Those red and green rubber mats they had under the larger furniture and appliances... The way to tiles looked... The smell the store had... Gives me a weird sense of nostalgia in a way.

    Another awesome video and my favorite dead mall filmers like you and Anthony add little humorous touches to it. Glad to see you back filming because I sense that's one of the things that makes you happy.
    Sad to see this Sears go. Simon Malls is the Eddie Lambert of property owners. All these malls are dark and sterile and have the same 100 stores and really no personality.. I've seen Simon kick Sears out of other malls wanting more hip, meh stores like Zara and Primark and in Paramus a Stu Leonards overpriced yuppie grocery store. They run my local mall which has zero personality. I only go there for Chick Fil A and $5 movies at the AMC theatre on Tuesdays.

    In the small town where I live, a lot of people bought stuff from Sears, as there was always lots of stuff there waiting to be picked up by people who ordered them!

    Nice video! One thing that really drives me nuts about Sears and Kmarts is some stores have a much newer logo while some have the old and some like this one used the old logo on baskets while a different sears logo on the store.
    A logo is really important in brand recognition but just like how they dont have anything really differentiating themselves from their competition they're really all over the place and dont know who they are as brands.

    Kind of weird how there are stairs to the services area. That is vintage. Yeah, if Sears wasn't generating enough traffic, I don't think I would want them in my mall either. Don't get me wrong, it is a shame that Sears is continuing to close stores. Wallie, you are right. Eddie Fartfurt (Manny quote) doesn't care about his company. It went down as soon as he became CEO. I can count on one hand how many Chicago area stores are left after this round of closures. Too bad. Take care. I hope you find that washer and dryer.

      I don't know. South Hills Village used to have a Boscov's. Target and Dick's Sporting Goods occupy that space now. I'm actually really surprised to hear that Simon shut these two down.
      SHV Sears had way more stuff than Washington, PA, but I really want it to stay. I don't know if Washington Crown Center can handle losing another anchor. They've already lost Macy's, Bon-Ton, and Gander Mountain, though Gander was replaced by Rural King.
      Wallie, you must have visited a couple weeks ago. I was there Monday and the tools/lawn and garden had half the stuff than what you see in the video (though the shed is still there). If you get a chance, you might want to swing by the Kmart on Route 19 in McMurray/Canonsburg area (about 10 miles south of the Village). There's been no official announcement, but everyone's talking about that one closing soon.

    South Hills Village could put a casino in the Sears space to take some pressure off the Meadows. In fact, if they would have converted Century III into a casino things would be a lot different in West Mifflin. PUT CASINOS EVERYWHERE. Amazon can't touch this.

    Seems like Sears Auto Centers usually close within the first couple weeks of liquidation sales beginning but I could be wrong I suppose. Also was surprised a mall would want an anchor tenant out but it is Sears so I get it, If it were any other store like JCPenney or Dillard's then I'd be confused.

    I used to work at this location in 2016. Forget the name of the position (Backroom Associate maybe?) but it involved those SNC handhelds. We used to call them "Snicks" lol.
    In short, I wasn't very good at all that physical labor, and the guy leading the room hinted at the idea that he was going to slide my work hours on a new hire that he felt was doing better than me if I didn't shape up. (He also took issue with me doing stuff as simple as using the bloody restroom...in my experience if employers have issue with that that's your first sign to get the hell out of there.)
    I didn't get fired for what it's worth; I ended up getting another gig elsewhere at full time. Curiously enough they responded by tearing me off their schedule entirely during my 2weekNotice period.
    Guess that chap made good on his warning, lol. Still now that they're closed I guess that doesn't matter anymore.

      K lee whenever someone tells me that JCP is an anchor in their mall and there are fewer than 2 other anchors, I get worried. JCP isn't doing too well these days either. I mean MY mall is anchored by JCP, Dick's and Burlington, but the Bon Ton is in its own standalone building in another part of town and Dick's said they were leaving to move there. My mall is done for and it sounds like it's in better shape than yours.

      Yes even though the target is attached to the mall, it's not going to stay open for one anchor, someone told me they put a Sephora in JCPenney to save it, but that's going to hurt it in my opinion.

    Simon Malls is absolutely terrible!! They manage Southridge Mall here and I will not go there!! There was a big controversy when they decided to stop bus service to the mall because it caused a “traffic hazard “ which I don’t get because there are other malls in the area that are a lot busier and the busses run there. The Sears at that mall closed last year and the space is being repurposed. I wonder if they were told the same thing this location was.

      Simon Properties saw what happened to Century III Mall as a result of buses stopping there.

    I would bet that Simon malls is kicking sears out because of sears either not paying rent or being constantly late with rent. And also Simon malls knows sears is doomed might be another reason

      Barry Lee at a bunch of malls Sears actually owns the land the stores sit on, and they are redeveloping the land themselves.
      Sears is now more of a real estate investment company than a retail company

    Id rather listen to the oldschool shit at Moon Township Kmart than whatever the hell they were playing here.
