  I worked for Sears Optical for 35 years. Lampbert has destroyed many retirements. its very sad that so many of my dear friends lost their jobs after many years of loyal service

I'm just glad that I got out when I did eleven  years ago.

I could see the handwriting on the wall even then.

The large Sears near me has been vacant for about two years.  Usually when these larger stores go out of business, a gym takes over the space.  We have more gyms than we need:/

Our mall which is where our Sears is located, already has a Planet Fitness in it.

It went in where a smorgasbord restaurant used to be.

@Anonymous032819 Our local Sears is actually 30 miles away from my home now.  Our local Sears closed probably 10 years ago.   My family still purchases stoves, refrigerators, wasers and dryers, and lawn mowers from them.  Our little Sears does not carry any clothes or such, only small appliances.

I was a child growing up in the 60s and 70s.  We loved, loved, loved getting the Christmas catalog.  It was worn out by December.  My family bought Kenmore appliances for years.  Our local Sears closed a year or two ago.  Sad!!!  It was a lot of good memories.

I never cared that much for their clothes.  I remember when I got my first car and took it there for service and they dragged it out all day.

Sears...so many memories of being a kid in the seventies and getting everything there.  And can't forget the Wish Book at Christmas time.  What a great store it once was!  RIP

Bought my boys clothes there when they were kids.  Couldn't wear out those kids clothes, like JCP kids clothes.  We handed them down thru the family.  

My mother loved Sears.  I remember when stores downtown were only open Thursday night & what a treat to go out to Woolworths to sit at the counter -- then walkover and shop at Sears.  Fond childhood memories in mid 60s. My brother liked to ride the pony in the boys department! 

Thanks for reminding me of a simpler time🙂
