  • Closing of the major Sears retail and Auto repair in Toledo Ohio.
    (Closed for good 9/16/17)
    TOLEDO WILL MISS YOU!
    On a side note, I loved to shop at sears and I personally bought all my craftsman tools from them and our family TV.

    Great story. I remember as a child Sears in Davenport, Iowa ,was the place to shop at Christmas time. They had absolutely everything. Including model train sets running. How things have changed. And not always for the better. Excellent video. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

    I hope someday in the future someone will be making a video about Amazon warehouse closures! Abandon Amazon warehouses. That will be a nice video to watch sometime in the future.

    We had 4 Sears stores over the years in my area. We had one down town that opened in 1948 and closed in 1983. It was the second one down town. Three more were in malls and other in a shopping plaza. Lake county IL, and Kenosha and Racine, Wi

    This Sears was a johnny come lately to Toledo. The one I and my buddies used to frequent was in the Great Eastern Shopping Center on Woodville R. back in the early 60s. They didn't do clothing yet. We used to get our refills of b-bs for our b-b guns, our bows and arrows, and my dad bought our 12 horse Elgin boat-motor there. Later, I bought many of my tools there. It was a much better Sears than its replacement when they built the Woodville Mall. Ha! It's not just the Sears stores that are gone now, but the shopping centers and malls that held them are gone too. When Sears decided to compete with clothing stores like J. C. Penney's, they started going down hill. By the 70s, the guys on the construction jobs were referring to their "sears-sucker tools" .... "I'm the sucker that bought it from Sears." That was deadly.

    This was more or less the same story with the Sear's near me in late '18... Closing, so you had to choose whatever was left at rock bottom prices, and use your best judgment if you purchased it, because there were no refunds, nor warranties available...

    I recall when Sears dominated the market, but now they've become obsolete. It's merely an indication of shifting trends, much like how Hollywood Video closed, or Blockbuster and RadioShack disappeared.
