Sad that it’s closing
At this point I'm ready for Sears to be over with. It's just so sad to see how far they have fallen. Eddie Lampert is such a buffoon. He killed two Iconic store brands. I know they both could have been saved with proper management and leadership. Just sad.
Unfortunately the last Sears Grand is now closing too
That Sucks
@@LostDepartments and also Marathon FL Kmart and Key Largo FL Kmart have been confirmed to close as well
There's more stuff there than the non-closing one in Harrisburg had in November!
The font used on that newer signage appears to be the same one Kmart's been using for its advertisements.
There is more product there than woodfield. And that’s not closing!

This mall eventually look like nearby Ford City . Ok in daylight but a bad element at night and weekends. Very few in the area still go there . Haven’t been there now in 7 years. Been evening shooting there in parking lot. Wouldn’t want my children there anything. Most BDubs are mostly adults. The one here is mostly teens from nearby Oaklawn HS . The Panera closed . Panera never closes unless unprofitable. When I went there I saw vagrants coming in with cubs and helping themselves to sodas . The once mobbed Connie’s pizza closed there. The movie theaters were once nice and neighborhoods kids went on weekends , now no one in area attends there much. One violent situation there and it’s over. Most of the stores are junk stores and cater to the bizarre tastes of extreme youth. In the 80s and 90s a favorite of local people. When the locals leave, you’re toast. Many in those south suburbs like Oaklawn, Burbank, Chicago ridge, bridgeview, Bedford park now go to nearby countryside to shop . Lagrange too. Oakbrook is most bustling outdoor mall closest to shop at. Even Orland square becoming a crime area in parking lot, and in mall. Ridge mall will never return to the period before 2000. When junk stores like cologne knockoffs, kids jump and fun, and discounted crap stores enter the malls, it’s in decay !
What was their downfall is when Kmart and Eddie lambert took control of the company
I was literally at this store the day it opened with my sisters. Opened before mall was fully finished.
Close them all and put an end to these endless closing sales. Nothing can save them now.
This store is closing Sunday, May 2nd, 2021
Im gonna have to update my Thumbnail...
I am mall train and gaming 555 on my alt (RUclips kept removing my comment) anyway what I said was that this is sad and I only have been here a couple times, the main locations I went to were Stratford, Charlestowne, fox valley, Spring Hill and woodfield. Also as a suggestion maybe film the Spring Hill mall as it is dying if you have time,
I dont know whats happeing to your comments, I saw the notification for them but they disapeered quickly. I agree that Spring Hill isnt looking good. H&M recently closed too.
@@LostDepartments yeah idk why they are disappearing so I just figured I would post them on this channel. But I saw that h&m closed there when it was taken off the store listings on the store locater.
Test
When Woodfield location closes. Its all over
I miss Sears!
Interstingly the “new” signage reminds me of the Kmart “remodel” that was done in Des Plaines around the same time.
To me, it shows a missed opportunity at proper synergy between the two brands; along with the Sears in Brooklyn that added a miniature Kmart inside.
I've said this before, but I am convinced that the whole "Softer side of Sears" campaign from the early 1990's was the company's downfall. Instead of focusing on the "hardlines" that had been their strength for decades - tools, appliances, car parts, sporting goods, electronics - the company decided that Hey, there's a huge market in women's clothing, big markups too, let's focus on that! What no one considered is that while indeed there is a huge market for women's clothing and big markups, there's also brutally high competition. Not to mention that in an image-conscious field like women's clothing, Sears' somewhat old fashioned, stodgy image would be a huge drawback.
What was their downfall is when Kmart and eddy lambert bought the company.
Thanks for the video! I was just there a few days ago. It was a nice setup compared to some stores.
Hey good to see your videos again! Just a good film person! Sorry to see sears closed a profitable store again. I have one sears left by me and its in dieing mall. Two floors filled with stuff not that busy too but its still open.in 2019 fall the lower a profitable Sears. But think mall cut the lease with them!
I give Sears wood field 2 years at best and the outher few stores left I am shocked my local site lasted till March of 2020
Great video! Sears is just getting sadder and sadder by the day
Thank You!!!
Can I ask when you filmed this? Wondering if this was before or after I did on the 16th. (Store is much more organized in your vid) I filmed again on the 20th, (store was in extreme chaos) but won't upload until next month.
This was literally filmed on the 20th.
@@LostDepartments Thanks. The difference a few hours makes. Apparently the city of Chicago Rdg says they've already helped to line up a tenant for this building. But that's that--now I'm just curious to see how long the Woodfield store hangs on for. The Woodfield store is not only the last in Illinois, but also the last Sears to still be open at a Homart (Sears) built mall.
Great job! Wondering how about how Woodfield Sears is doing...
It's pretty empty. I was there a few weeks ago and it looks the same as my video. Still with a lot of Notre Dame merch.
@@LostDepartments Hoping they don't close that one next. Liked Sears for certain things.
