That is true. The Stockton and Concord, CA Stores have no rugs yet, but have plenty of space for the rugs to be placed at any time. Especially Concord.submariner wrote: ↑January 1st, 2022, 8:02 pmThat achievement is only unlocked during the "liquidation" level![]()
JCPenney went from a real corporate HQ to a closed-down JCPenney store in a dying mall. I suspect Sears might do something similar. The real issue is if the funds gained from a sale actually get into reinvested into the company or padding an executive's bank account...retailfanmitchell019 wrote: ↑January 1st, 2022, 7:28 pm Transformco (Sears) is selling its Hoffman Estates HQ: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/s ... s/2710614/
If they are selling off the HQ, then this is really the end.
There has been no need for a HQ. The HQ basically closed when COVID hit and it wasn't long after that they laid off the last of the regional VPs, laid off almost all of the buying groups, etc. I am guessing the only reason HQ is up for sale now is because they felt conditions for selling it since COVID hit would not have been great. At this point I am not so sure conditions to sell it are great either but based on the timing of the other things happening with their operation they must have felt the time was right for them or they simply can't wait any longer.pseudo3d wrote: ↑January 1st, 2022, 11:22 pm

Sears did not open at Southcenter until 1994. The 1968 date probably was when Frederick & Nelson opened, Sears took over the space when Frederick & Nelson closed.pseudo3d wrote: ↑January 1st, 2022, 4:47 pm The list of full-line Sears stores is even smaller (and who knows what "full line" even means anymore!)

Relocated to this space from downtown approximately 1974. A Whole Foods was carved out of about 35-40% of the lower level a few years ago. A comparable proportion of the upper level is now dedicated to mattresses.
I'm not sure JCP even had much in the way of an executive suite dedicated to JCP itself when they made the HQ closure decision. Someone was calling the shots I guess. Maybe people from the ownership group's executive team. I mean suite. Or castle?
And the shareholders as well......storewanderer wrote: ↑January 2nd, 2022, 11:44 amI'm not sure JCP even had much in the way of an executive suite dedicated to JCP itself when they made the HQ closure decision.
