I’m not really surprised, but it’s still kinda a sad day when it closes. Hope it’s not gonna be a Starbucks!!
Yeah really sad the employees can go work at the local Kmart, NO that’s gone too!
Karen Pauley Roberts
Wow, it’s been here for so long !
Sounds like we need to go shopping ?
Sounds good !

Samantha Shannon Lee Skipper You’re old haunting grounds ?
I know right! Some people I used to know from there are still working there! Sad for them! Seems like a lifetime ago.
Samantha Shannon Lee Skipper Really? That’s crazy. It seems like a lifetime ago to me, too…seeing you at work there ?
Samantha Shannon Lee Skipper I remember my first day at work, I was all beat up lol.
Jack Napier oh my goodness! I have so many great memories coming back to me. That job was so much fun looking back!
It sucks, but if it has to go, I hope maybe they repurpose it to a Nordstrom…
Yes!!! ?? I wish. Doubt another retail though. The market, mostly millennials, are looking for experiences versus a shopping experience because they can shop online in the convenience of their own home. So my guess is something like a Dave & Busters, bowling alley, or they move the theater.
Ok I’m not a millennial but even I like and agree with your post!
Honestly who wouldn’t prefer a great experience over shopping??

It’s a bummer regardless when people lose their job
Very true…
Liquidation does not mean putting everything on sale for the customers. They move most of the stuff to their other stores and sell the BS stuff no one wants. They start with a nothing discount and people get excited. Never worth it people.
So what will fill in that big empty building?
Sad to see another store shuttered. That’s a big space and it is difficult to imagine it ever getting rented. Most big-space retailers – and small-space ones for that matter – are unlikely to be expanding. And that space doesn’t have the best location in the Valencia mall. In any case, I wish the employees, Sears and the mall owners the best.

Valerie Rosemann ..wow !!
Crazy!!!
This is sad to me but I’ve seen it coming for some time. I had a great career with Sears that also involved the Valencia store. After almost 30 years I was let go about 15 years ago. It turned out to be the best thing that could happen to me. Praying for all who are left behind and will be losing their jobs over this.
We are losing so many stores they just sit there empty very sad. Look at Vons Pavilion still empty
That is currently being refurbished to be Nordstrom Rack and TJ Maxx…

Blake Wood we were just talking about this
So sad!!!!!!
Rarely visited but when I did it was for Craftsman tools. Excellent deals. Very sorry to see an old stalwart fade away.
Also the watch repairman whose business has been there for decades will need a new place. He’s a great guy and a great asset.
Noooooo!!! My favorite watch repair guy is in there! Will he be moving to another location??
Where will I go when I need my busted Craftsmen tools replaced?!
Online or someone will buy the craftsman brand
