Mandeville, LA is a decent area and is right across from where the Albertsons closed (for the second time) for a Whole Foods. The real estate is ripe for Albertsons' return to the area.Super S wrote: ↑January 4th, 2018, 1:57 pm And the closing announcements have started....

A few I am familiar with:
Lloyd Center in Portland: This has been expected.
Federal Way, WA: This store was very tired looking. The mall seems to be rebounding though as they have recently added a new Kohl's as well as Dick's Sporting Goods. This space could be redeveloped fairly soon.
Chehalis, WA (Double Whammy) The Sears doesn't surprise me as it is pretty much the ONLY anchor in the Lewis County Mall, which isn't really much of a mall. The Kmart I am surprised by though, as they remodeled and reopened after the store was flooded about 10 years ago, and it's the only store near me to have the current signage. I was surprised by the fact they remodeled with a big Walmart nearby, but this was right next to I-5 and had excellent visibility, and was one of the nicer Kmarts left around here.
Austin, TX is a Sears Grand. Interestingly, there's a much older Sears near I-35 closer to the city core (next to H-E-B at Hancock Center). It should be noted that this is also a declining area retail-wise, and Sears outlasted the SuperTarget(!) in the same area by two years.
Houston, TX is West Oaks Mall, which is a declining part of town and has been deteriorating since Memorial City Mall did a major remodel. The store (100,000 square feet) was built as a Saks Fifth Avenue and I believe that the Sears store began as a prototype in 1990 that only sold apparel.
