Exploring One Of The Last Sears Locations (only 12 left..)

[@Bunniblossom]

I heard if you spend too long at the sears closing sale you become a part of the sale and you turn into a microwave sitting on a shelf and thousands of people walk by you but never buy you. Be careful

[@jacobcruik]

I've heard the same thing.

[@LyraPyxisVT]

Jokes on you the sears where I live is open still

[@LyraPyxisVT]

Nvm they ain't open in new york anymore, I think their last store here closed of this year in jan

[@BlanBonco]

Woah the gummies just hit

[@isac6459]

It’s true! It happened to my mom 😂

[@becca2742]

I'll miss Sears. I remember buying a Sears Kardashian brand dress back in the day & thinking I was such a baddie when I wore it to my cousin's engagement party 😂

[@savannahblanch1991]

[@LyraPyxisVT]

I read somewhere their trying to make a comeback

[@ChristmasMorning1995]

My mom bought kardashian shower curtains. They were pretty and we used them for over 10 years

[@Idkanythingrlly]

dying retail is one of my niche' interests so thanks for this. There's just something about exploring dying stores that used to be so full of life. Sears has been around so long that it's surreal tbh lol. Like when I went to kmart right before it closed here - I had so many memories there and it was just kinda haunting to see it so empty

[@genesislove2318]

So much American culture revolves around consumerism- watching it die out implies the death of an era & certain traditions and rituals being abandoned. Just think of the absolute grip Macy's has on Christmas 🎄

[@kellybroady6378]

I am an 80's baby, we had not only Sears, but Sears Outlet, which was the discount sears. My mother may have single handedly kept that store in business. Ah, nostalgia.

[@RanLilly]

Sears should make a movie were the final customer goes into Sears one last time and no clip into the backrooms. Through out the movie the customer must navigate through the sears store in various time decades, while avoiding typical/crazy retail moments that happened within that store in the past. My brain go brrr.

[@starnathanstar]

That sounds really cool ngl!

[@madirai9241]

i have a core memory at a sears. we grew up really poor, and my parents got their first mobile phones in the early 2000s, my dad took his first ever selfie in front of the gym equipment in a sears.

[@saturnbebe1635]

Alternate title: we explore the back rooms

[@camerinrandall1780]

Exactly 😂

[@hannygurl9279]

My parents have an old sears catalog from the beginning. Seeing a piano for sale for like $50 is crazy. It's interesting to check out.

[@LyraPyxisVT]

That is crazy, oh how the times changed, that 50 dollar piano is like over 700 dollars now

[@johnjay3270]

Had a Sears near me for 20 years, but the last 5 years it was just like the one you visited. I always liked going there, cause I'd likely be the only customer. You'd know it was a big sale day if there were 10 cars in the parking lot. It finally closed last year. BTW, a little late, but Happy Birthday Jacob!

[@allyhenderson1331]

this is the craaaaziest vibe like how were you guys so casual chilling in uncanny valley

[@Mary_0-_-]

The sears by me closed down and they were trying to sell all of their stuff (including shelving and mannequins) so I bought a mannequin from them and I loved it so much I named him Terry. Rip Terry I had to say goodbye to him when my house burned down. I miss him I want a new mannequin but I feel bad replacing Terry

[@jacobcruik]

awww

[@rebashhhh3448]

omg Terry! I bought a baby mannequin and named it Toby. lost siblings

[@AmyB369]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[@skidm_ark]

Imagine being the employee who’s watching the security cameras and you see these two doing what they do hahahah

[@laurenreay9169]

My parents met working at Sears in the 80s. So I guess you could say Sears is my origin story. Also, the story…They had been working at sears as teens and my dad’s friend told him he was going to ask out my mom… he walked over and my mom could tell. So like the hot girl she is, she knew what she wanted and before he asked she told Doug she thought my dad was cute. Poor Doug told my dad and the rest is history…. My dad did get Doug’s blessing and from what I hear he is doing fine these days.. so don’t feel too bad for Doug.

[@LyraPyxisVT]

My parents met at toys r us then my father started working for sears when I was born after working for toys r us for so long

[@sarahlacey342]

my best friends parents met at sears too!

[@christinamahan5429]

Can you guys please go get a photo shoot done with your siblings at jc pennys?

[@earthspirits]

I am so thankful to have found you guys' content recently. You're both so effortlessly funny and fun to watch, feels like I'm hanging out with a couple friends:) much love!!!!!!

[@altoidsours]

When I was a kid, there was a Lazarus in the mall with a restaurant that overlooked the whole thing! It was always my dream to eat in that restaurant. I imagined it was the height of fancy. But then it shut down before I ever got to eat there, crushing my one childhood dream. Your idea of a restaurant on top of Sears reminded me of that!

[@kathylankston9862]

If you’re talking about Indianapolis, it was good, but not super fancy.

[@FBIs]

wow what amazing timing jacob.. yesterday i was pondering the whereabouts of the sears locations.. ❤

[@emergencyasmr]

the sears rebrand is just a green airbnb logo? i haven’t been to a sears in over 10 years but the last time i was there i bought a pair of heels for a wedding i was attending and then i ended up fainting outside of the venue and peed my pants a little but anyway ill never forget that kardashian line 😭 the terrible bodycon, chevron, animal print and wide belts. truly iconic 💫

[@kennedyl10]

sad how the bag said “125 years” so it was from 2018 but I guess they haven’t had enough customers to use them all over the last 6 years

[@atomictea21]

The Sears near me had a McDonalds inside and it was peak. I remembered going there and had so much fun there. There was original and famous elevator brand in there.

[@elm7942]

My mom loved their shoe section so I remember getting shoes from there often as a kid. She was devastated when they closed but Mervyn's closing hit her harder.

[@tuna000000000]

that ending???? 10/10 communication was flawless. “this is bow the end of the video” and yall wish sears the best! so much love.

[@sativaloves]

If sears brought back the catalog houses I bet they would have so many customers lol

[@anekcm]

Girl yes😂

[@mona9008]

Yes!!!

[@koilamaoh4238]

But then you need catalog property... and the other nonsense that come along with that lol.

[@pantsberg]

You and Lucas both have successfully improved my mental health recently and I just want to thank you both for that!

[@RoxyBat-KittyCat]

I work in malls all throughout FL. It's crazy cuz sears is closing, and the malls can't put anything new in those units because sears still owns them. They have sold off a lot of those units but I can think of 5 malls off the top of my head were sears left but still owns the unit and the mall is just stuck with this giant empty space they can't touch. A lot of people don't realize that the larger units are often owned by the stores in them. Sears, jc penny, Macy's, Barnes and nobles. They are technically private property to the company that owns them. I don't understand closing a store but continuing to own the property. It's not from a lack of interest in the units. So many companies are begging for those spots.

[@moonwvr7252]

I love how you and Lucas took something as mundane as a visit to a Sears store and made it hilarious! I literally lol so many times! You two are so funny that’s why I love watching your videos. Btw my husband was a department manger for Sears in the 1990’s.

[@mq0br3]

They're respectful, rule following young men, but I wish they would have explored the closed off area behind the curtain. I was enjoying the backrooms vibes lol

[@xliveinlovebabyy]

I worked at Sears before it closed. Ours was from the 50's and it had a restaurant at one point. It was so cool to walk around and find secret rooms. There was one room that was narrow and had metal stairs. Multiple employees had seen a ghost there. I had good memories working at Sears. RIP to our Sears

[@KatieNicoleGoddess]

low key this humor is waaaayyy under rated 😂😂😂😂😂 jacob and luscus + jacobs editing = prime comedy

[@REMstar11]

Dingle dangling?! Jacob! Dilly dallying. The almost knowing things but not being quite there is unreal.

[@hilaryduncan251]

I love you guys! I have SO many AMAZING memories from when I was growing up! Sears was THE PLACE to go, if you needed something that your neighborhood place could not provide. It was the First Superstore! Family photos were made, Swedish Fish, and white chocolate sold by the ounce....Granny Nightgowns were IT!!!.....I also, embarrassingly, was fitted for-and obtained my first bra! Crap! I just realized-it was my first credit card!!!...and was made to wear "Husky" sizes.....ahhhhh...Sears.....a true Icon of my young life

[@carolinebull8767]

This is my home town sears (gardens). It was always funny to me that one of the last Sears is in one of the wealthiest malls. The Sears is officially closed now. The mall has been trying to get rid of it for years as it didn’t fit their luxury aesthetic. There’s some good videos out there of people exploring this Sears auto building, it was left untouched.

[@BestFriendOfJesus]

God bless y’all Jacob!

[@KennyReaper]

As a former retail associate I understand why Sears died but it still breaks my heart. Me and my Grandma spent HOURS in our local sears. I got my prom dress and all my favorite items there as a teen. My ex husband and I bought all of our home items with a gift card there. For years it’s where I bought all my Christmas gifts for family and friends. It was a store that made you feel like you shopping a department store without the usual department store price. RIP Sears ❤

[@HDjeff]

I worked at this exact store (Palm Beach Gardens) in the shoe department in the late 90s when I was a teenager and I also worked for Sears in MA & TX too. We got paid 7-10% commission on the shoes and you could make really good money, and the place was really nice (exact same location in your video) where it was the type of service where one of each of the shoes were nicely displayed and we’d go find them for the customers in the back room. Eventually I knew almost every shoe we sold and where to find it our back, I had a lot of fun working there.

[@jujub4553]

You’re supposed to put the batteries on top of the ribbon in the battery compartment so when you need to take out/replace the batteries you pull on the ribbon to help pop out the batteries and you don’t have to dig the batteries out

[@Titacortina]

2:21 love that this is like a KUWK confessional 🙊

[@laurenw6120]

I can’t believe you guys were in Palm Beach Gardens!!! I live so close! I could have seen THE BROS in the sears that nobody ever goes to!!!!

[@zacharyzachary7522]

Church of Jacob this Sunday!

[@SuperKae2000]

fun fact the sears in palm beach gardens just recently got shut down even tho they actually had the rest of their lease. i worked in the gardens mall and whenever i was walking around in my time off i would always pass by the sears because i wouldn’t know if it would be my last time or not. thank you for making this video, especially as a local i really found it funny!

[@hollycosmic]

Omg I was just rewatching your videos and said I needed you to upload a new one, so thanks for hearing my cries for more content🥰 best KZbinr ever

[@Illsilver]

I would shop for clothing at sears often back in high school It always empty so I would always find my sizes also the fitting rooms were always empty

[@poison4303]

16:08 you put the ribbon under the batteries, that way when you need to take the batteries out you just pull the ribbon instead of trying to pick at the batteries

[@twolip]

I just discovered this channel and I am currently binging your videos, can you guys take an Amtrak train across the country?

The nostalgia I get from this makes me so sad seeing it so abandoned 😭

[@julesasmr09]

omg the little ribbon in the battery compartment is to help get the batteries out. You put it under the batteries and when you need to take them out you pull the ribbon up

[@victoriacoman8224]

You guys are actually hilarious and need your own TV show asap

[@taylorp535]

The sears by my house closed last year 😭 my grandpa literally used to go to Sears for EVERYTHING back in the day! There are still things in his house that are used today that are from AT LEAST the late 1960s. Sears used to have some really good quality products and items!!! It’s fun to see that this Sears looks JUST like the one that closed by me 😂 when you walk in, you go back in time LOL

[@dsr0116]

I live in Atlanta, and we've got a redeveloped Sears building that had a retail store and catalogue warehouse when it opened in 1926 (now it's Ponce City Market). It remains one of the largest buildings in the Southeast: at 2.1 million square feet. It's pretty amazing how majestic they were back then....all the modern ones that have closed in malls won't be remembered since they're just another department store.

[@vacaovni]

I'm from mexico , and there are a lot of Sears here and they're doing okay . 👍

[@whodat1017]

Sears and Kmart had really nice clothes especially back then Walmarts clothing wasn’t as nice.

It was an eclectic vacation. You went from the Versace Mansion to Sears.

The snippets of store music too great 👌

[@aurorablackart]

I love y’all so much I needed this !!!!

[@furbybridgers]

Omg I'm literally obsessed with Sears I can't believe you guys made a video about this. I've visited 3 of the remaining stores (NJ, Orlando, Washington) and they were all so depressing

[@oscarcuellar1661]

I must say, the xmas tree as background and out of the xmas context looks neat

[@warmarmot1]

I remember as a little one being TERRIFIED of getting eaten by excalators. My mom would scream at me for acting like a child. I was like 4 years old and she'd get on and leave me at the bottom crying.

This is so haunting. I didn’t think I would get emotional watching this video.

[@savkenn]

i missed you guys so much thank god youre back

[@Adina5150]

I genuinely remember as a child .. like a fever dream .. being with my grandma and aunt in sears in canada and we went to this middle area that was like this office in the centre… i think we were there for fabrics or something… but i genuinely got to see the catalogues in the very early 2000s and some of the old editions were there aswell and they told me about how it used to be primarily ordered to the customer. Some warehouse areas or show rooms but primarily you would do the catalogue. Also out at a cabins I went to growing up the guys there had old catalogues and magazines in the outhouses. Some pieces are tapes/pinned to the walls. Really crazy and cool to see the old prices and things. I also gladly own one of my omas faux leopard coat that is from the time hudsons bay would have these things but you could get your initials embroidered inside. Prior to her passing I have found a few in thrift stores up here aswell from that era.

[@JarretSlater]

This is my dream vacation going to Miami just to go to sears!!!!! SOOOO Jelly

[@askme0316]

Jacob's right about the ceiling - I work for a mitigation company - that's A LOT of water stains/mold happing in that store lol. Bad roof, leaks - possibly even a bad leaky HVAC system if you were in Florida I think you said at the start of the video.

[@floatinginthee1810]

I love these videos and I'm not even American. There's just something very liminal spacey about department stores now. It's very nostalgic for kids born in the 80's 90's and 00's. Make this a serie please.

[@ivysvibing]

Puerto Rico mentioned!🎉🥰🇵🇷

[@robertnovoa341]

❤ always happy to see You. So I am wondering when was the last time You came to Puerto Rico,? I have never been to a Sears here so I am also confused as to how many Sears department stores are there here in Puerto Rico😢 🤭 I'm not really crying I'm just happy to be able communicate with You both, even if it's just texting.

[@kittyythecat]

When I was a child, I used to think that sears were for "rich people." Some clothes were cute and wanted to wear it but couldn't because my mom didn't want me to wear it. I'm tempted to go and get clothes I've always to wear

[@OfTheErised]

The ribbon in the spot for batteries is for when you need to take the batteries out you pull the ribbon so it's less difficult :) (the ribbon needs in be under the batteries when you put the betteries first!)

[@kb-bw6jx]

hiii ao the red ribbon is meant to go behind the batteries before you put them in. then when you’re ready to remove them, you can pull the red ribbon and it’ll pop em out. :)
