- Heavy machinery tears down the Sears section of the Fox Valley Mall. Originally opened in 1975, the Sears store closed on September 2, 2018 and now in January 2021 it meets its final demise. See what will be built in its place at the end of the video.
Don't miss the mishap when Linda did her Happy Dance and the hilarious deleted scenes.

May God bless you and keep you safe through all your travels.
It is sad what is happening to malls. But it is cool to see buildings torn down. A good demolition is always a thing to behold. Thanks for sharing this.
Very true...it was the first demo I've seen live. The sounds of metal bending and walls crashing in the middle of what looked like a war zone was really cool. Thanks for watching!
Have never watched closely how heavy machinery tear work. Nice sharing friend. Big thumbs up.
Thanks for watching!
Sears was a huge part of my childhood. I loved looking through the catalog for back to school clothes.
I loved the catalog at Christmas . Circled all the toys i wanted.😀
@@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 Those were the goods days. 😊
I liked their catalog, too!
This is crazy!! My son is loving watching this!!
LOl Tell him to keep watching. Have a great day.
OH No! a lot of Sear stores are gone. I used to love to shop at Sears. It's amazing that you were able to catch the tear down of this building. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Have a happy, healthy and blessed new Year!Thank you for sharing this amazing video. Have a happy, healthy and blessed new Year!
Thanks so much for the visit !!
I use to go to Sears for everything as a kid, especially their auto care service. We are by Stratford Square Mall and almost all the big stores, including sears are gone. Kohls and Burlington are the only 2 that are remaining. When I go to Vegas next, there's a place where you can ride construction equipment - hopefully I can do one of these giants!!!! Craig always has no fear going in. Can't believe it's going to be condos. One of our anchor became a Woodman's. I miss my malls.
Sears was so big. I believe they didn't keep up with changing times.They also had an idiot running things . Stratford Mall was one of my favorites back in the day . I miss the malls so much .
Hey Craig and Linda!! Awww... Sears, that was such a big store in the 80s! That's cool you got to see some of the teardown process. We are thinking that after Covid, most of these stores will be irrelevant. But all those condos that are going to be built. Gotta love what developers plan. Great video and love you guys to the moon! :)
It is sad so many stores are gone.It is good though that developers have come up with a great plan. Thanks for the visit.
Sad to see this happening to malls (but cool to actually see documented!) - had good memories of Sears growing up, but boy did they change before S hit the fan... and now my memories of Sears are forever tarnished.
I agree, lots of great memories of going to Sears. So sad !
That machine's a MONSTER! I don't want to be in the way of those jaws
Thanks for watching! Being up close and hearing walls crashing and metal bending was surreal! It really was a beast...lol
Like 167. So cool. I agree, these things are monsters. Yeah, malls are being taken down everywhere - in favour of condos. Cool happy dance! Enjoy the rest of your week.
Thanks for visiting! It was an unplanned video...we were on our way to planned video shoot and saw this...it looked and sounded cool and so we shared...it's all part of being on the road! We have some great Vegas videos coming up the next few weeks...so stay tunes!
Great share. Joel used to work in a Chick-fil-A in a mall and I think that mall has completely shut down now. I don’t think that they’ve torn it down yet. Kinda sad. But you made this video entertaining as always. 🥰
It's sad the malls are all closing or downsizing. They are just tearing down the Sears now to make condos. But Carsons another anchor is closed also. Thanks for watching!
Sad to see it all gone. We enjoyed our shopping at Sears.
Yes it was.Thanks for the visit.
I think the demise of Sears is when they ended that iconic Catalog and that they didn't jump online early enough! Sad to see it go, it was the store to go to back in the day!
Agree 💯%! Have to adapt to keep up with the changing times.
Totally agree with you.I think J.C. Penny's may be next.
@@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 malls might soon be victims also.
I think you used the absolutely perfect word choice for their catalog-- "iconic." I agree wholeheartedly! Great word choice!
Super big that machinery to tear down that mall... Amazing and it looks like a dinosaur.
It really is! Thanks for the visit.
Yes -- I saw that someone else said that they looked like dinosaurs, too. And I guess the really did. Good call on that one!
Bye Sears.
Used to go there when I was in the US.
Thanks for uploading. ❤️
So sad it is gone.
Grew up shopping at Sears. We had a stand alone Sears building where I grew up. Luckily, the building is still there with other tenants.
Sears was the place! Another Sears Iconic building was torn down as we drove through Chicago...it's the Amazon effect. Thanks for watching!
Another one bites the dust 🤪 cool to watch 😎
It was just a random stop as we didn't plan on doing this. It was cool to watch but the sounds of bending mental and walls crashing was amazing, Thanks for watching!
Sad, how this part of our growing up is gone forever. Thanks for sharing Craig and Linda. Safe travels in 2021.
It sure is Thanks for stopping by Stan.
Love the energy. Cool adventure :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was awesome, aw aw...
Excellent share guys, thank you 🙏🙏

It is sad!
They tore down a Sears here in Tampa too. University Square Mall. Mall is still there, I won't go in it, scary! (And I'm not scared doing urbex!) You just gave me a goo idea for a video, I took some footage of a bank being torn down a while back... I need to edit that one. Good to see you guys, Happy New Year!
It is sad how malls are now . Look forward to your footage of the bank tear down.
Very nice share it
Thanks for visiting
I feel that malls will be a thing of the past. Our mall in Tulsa is struggling.
I agree with you . Amazon has taken over with online shopping.
Oh wow - its kind of sad in a nostalgic sense - bye bye sears - LoL
It is sad .Thanks for the visit.
Sad to see this but this is life .. nothing stays for ever .. thanks for uploading♥️
You are so right ! The world is changing . Thanks for watching.
Ty for sharing this is happening alot these days sledgehammered that like button stay safe awesome and blessed
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching and safe travels!
never forget when they tore down the palm beach mall, I grew up hanging out there and them sprnt much of my adult hood working there,
Thanks for watching. I remember them building that mall and how packed it would be during the holidays...times sure have changed...lol
The slow death of Sears. Sad for an old timer like me
It is sad !
Ha Ha What a unique video. I never would have that to vlog about this, but it works.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was totally unplanned. We were driving by and it was cool to watch and hear the machinery as it knocked down the walls so I decided to shoot it and share the experience. Thanks for watching!
Wow haven’t been to a Sears in a long time. There was one here in Dallas that recently got torn down for the same type of multi dwelling outdoor area. Seems like those are the new thing.
A lot of the malls here especially the mid size malls are making them into gyms. Sears just never keep up with the times....sad
So many businesses are going out of business during the pandemic. Malls are failing that's for sure. Sad, but cool deconstruction video. Hopefully 2021 will have hope for something better.
I think it is good that developers have come up with a plan so we don't end up with an abandoned mall.
great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
RIP Sears.
Another one bites the dust.
Bye bye sears! Gonna be nice condos though 😃Jenn
It is going to become the thing of the future for malls.
Are you talking about the Fox Valley Mall in Appleton? Kinda sad, but the age of the internet is taking over. 😀
Thanks for watching! It is the Fox valley Mall in Aurora, IL. Amazon is the new way of shopping...sad
Seems like a lot of stores are closing down. Won't be Malls much longer. I wonder if someday we will have to order everything online..... crazy times.
I hope all the malls don't go away . I love the mall.Thanks for the visit.
Its sad to see such an icon of American culture fading away.
It really is sad!
SEARS is one of my favourite shops to visit when I am in the US. But the Appartments will look awesome. Looks like you will have to to another SEARS to get your returns on new Boots Linda & Craig. Have a great day. Oh, by the way, are they SEARS Closing down?
Almost all Sears are closed down. Lots of Department stores are going away. So sad . Things are changing so much.
@@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 Sears was a favourite store of our when we have visited the states over the years. How sad. We also like Maceys, JC Penny and we found some great things at The Ross stores. We don’t have any of these stores in Australia.
As Hawk Harrelson would say about Sears, "He gone!"
Oh wait. You're Cubs fans. Never mind. 🙃
Seriously, it is so crazy to see things that were part of our everyday lives just get literally and figuratively destroyed. Crazy memories. "Oh, that's where I bought that shirt I wore on my graduation" and things like that. They connect to memory in ways we typically don't think of.
Great memories of shopping at Sears as a family . So sad to see it go .
I am sure more store will be closing due to the pandemic.
@@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 Sad truth.
It's amazing really that the era of malls is waning. I'm sure COVID will lead to even more malls closing. 👍 ~ Kristine
I am sad to see the malls like this . I love going to the mall.
@@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 I don't think I've stepped foot in a mall in 25 years or more! 🤔
Good video
Glad you enjoyed!
흥미로운 영상입니다~ 자주 놀러올께요~~~~!
It's an interesting video~ I'll come to play often~~~~!
Thank you so much friend.
Shame this is happening every where now
It is sad.
Nice video...
Thanks for the visit
This was a quick fun video to watch! I know this is an odd comment to make -- and I apologizie if it seems rude because that is NOT my intention -- but I chose this video because it was only five minutes. Sometimes -- it is nice just to watch a very short, quick video. I am finding that out with my own RUclips Channel. I have discovered that the shorter videos (at least with our channel) get more views. I can put so much work and time into making a 12 - 15 minute video and it will get very little attention. And then I feel upset with myself for investing some much time and energy into what I think is a great video -- but it atrracts very little attention. Now -- that being said -- I truly did enjoy your video. It is always fun to watch a demolition -- which is something that I don't get a chance to do very often. I liked that you included your DELETED SCENES. That was pretty interesting. Gives me some ideas for some of my future videos, and I appreciate that. I thought it was interesting that Linda was experiencing some problems with her boots, and that she made the funny comment about possibly returning the boots because the two of you were at the mall already. Haha. Great Video!
When Craig edits videos he has not set a time limit. He tries to keep them fast pace and interesting . Sometimes they are 5 minutes sometimes 10.The average persons attention span is only about 8 seconds . Anything we can do or share to help people makes our day.
@@ontheroadwithcraigandlinda9554 Well said! And we can't please everyone all the time! Thanks for your interest in our channel! Ruthie
