I was there a few weeks back and released a video. That shoe department was a disaster when I was there. It was crowded with liquidation vultures, you know the non Sears shoppers. That upstairs was sort of junky. Glad you filmed the Macy's because it's gone.

Every Liquidation sale is like this sadly. I'm also happy I got the Macy's before it closed too!

This was the 4 th out of 6 anchors to close.this was such a beautiful mall.it offered something that woodfield didn’t.i really hope for Stratford that’s all there is left I’m afraid.so many names have come and gone.you have to think what could have been done to save Sears.we all know.invest in both your people and your foundation.make them both your core.it builds not only an idea.a name.a certain kind of trust,truth,and character that everyone can rely on.

Sears can’t survive with such a low number of stores. Since emerging from bankruptcy management has done nothing to turn the business around. Makes it look like there was never any intention of doing so. Nice video.
@user-ho3dx3od9y5 жыл бұрын
So it seems now Sears/K-mart are shrinking again. From the list I saw today it appears Sears at least, is totally exiting the California market. Well under 200 stores under both banners are left. This is further evidence Sears is in a slow and painful liquidation. It has been for years. Unfortunately the only asset of worth now are the store leases. They have some value. It’s time to say goodbye to Sears and K-mart. As I said before there never was an intention to turn the business around.

@@kittyboochanyesbongono8467 This channel was created back in early August 2017 but an important thing to know is that he also had another channel called "Elevators+more" which was created back in 2016. He recorded the Macy's video in March 2017 and posted it on Elevators+more, months before this channel was created. To show that montage for the intro, he used the Macy's footage he had on his other channel. Elevators+more is now inactive, it stopped being active back in February 2020 while this channel still continues. For your question, yes but not the same month.
