  • Sears Closing - Fort Worth, TX. While on our Texas trip, we shopped the Hulen Mall Sears and filmed it while it was under normal operations. A few days later it was leaked online that this store would be closing all of a sudden. We went back to buy a couple more things and got a few clips after it began liquidation. Will be sad to see this store go. It's a shame all Eddie Lampert worries about it real estate instead of investing in his stores and saving jobs.

    I love how people lament over a loss of a major chain store dinosaur. Yet like myself you would be hard pressed to remember the last time you spent a dime at Sears.
    Great channel!

      Well, up until Sears was gone out of the Pittsburgh area, I actually did some routine shopping there. I didnt do anymore once they all left. When we were in Texas and I saw these locations, I was happy I could pick up a few things from there. Just hated how it was closing and knowing I wouldn't be able to shop there again.

    I bet Sears & his partner Roebuck are probably turning in their graves with their company going under. I'm not sure what the real reason why this chain is closing except only what I hear on here. I guess I'll need to research stories not that I'm saying anyone is wrong so please don't get mad at me. Take care!

    Thank you for posting the video about the Sears at Hulan Mall it brought tears to my eyes. My husband worked at Sears for 23 years as a second job. In 1980 he began working at the Sears store at the Seminary South Shopping Center, Fort Worth in the "Loss Prevention" Department. Loss Prevention is another name for Security officer. He worked at the Seminary Store until it was closed and moved to Hulan Mall in the space that was previously a Montgomery Wards store. Me and my children have many fond memories of his time working at Sears. It saddens me to see all the Sears and K-Mart stores closing. I worked for 10 years at the K-Mart store in Fort Worth near the Seminary South Sears. Thanks again for the memories.

    So sad to see something go that was so close to where I grew up. Although I didn't spend much time specifically in the Sears, Hulen Mall was one of my favorite malls growing up, the second closest one and the closest "big" one. Thank you for being in the area at the right time to capture it. Also, Kayla is absolutely adorable even without the blue hair.

    Hey Wallis! I was on the construction crew that renovated the store around 2001-ish and believe it or not it was a former Montgomery wards and you would not believe all the Wards memorabilia that was just trashed The company I worked for had a very strict policy about not taking anything off the property and they had LP watching us sad to see the store go

    Wallie - I was traveling on highway 64 going east towards Huntington, WV, I think it was near Cannonsburg, KY - as I was driving towards Huntington, WV on the left was an INTACT ABANDONED KMART with all the signage and everything. I wanted to stop and get pictures for you - but I have trouble walking and I couldn't. Happy Hunting. I tried to search on internet where it was - but couldn't find it. Good luck.

    I just went with my mom to one of the malls that has a Sears in my area - I also suspect they will be liquidating soon. It used to be 3 floors - Men's and Kids/Toddler section on the 3rd floor, Home/Tools/Mattresses on the 2nd floor, and Women's/Shoes/Accessories/Jewelry on the main floor. They closed down the 3rd floor and sealed off the escalator, so now the 2nd floor is whatever they have left of Home/Tools combined with limited Men's clothing, and the main floor is a very limited selection of Women and Kid's stuff, with the Jewelry counter left abandoned. Some spaces are almost totally empty save for a few racks of clothing. Almost everything was 70% off. There were also 5 employees tops on both floors. It's really sad to see.

      Yeah here too in Seattle metro there used to be so many Sears locations yet there is only one left in a suburb called Tukwilla. There was one in Redmond WA that was always crowded with people from Microsoft but I think that one closed as the land was worth a fortune and is now being redeveloped in to large ugly towers.

The store turned into a Sears about 2001 when Montgomery Ward liquidated and closed down. That Sears has gone to hell for the past few years thanks to the moron who owns Sears and Kmart.
