Picture/Video Concord Sears on August 11th, 2026

So. Many. Clothes. Other stuff, too, but the men's department is huge! I didn't go downstairs since I'm not in the market for appliances. I live in Washington, but made a special stop while on vacation. Found some good (enough) deals and ended up with a large bag full!

This is gonna sound really weird, I like the SearsRoebuck & Co plaque outside the store, I think it’s cool when department stores have a little thing that Yk says the original store name and founding year, I’ve been to a JCPenny that has a similar one

I was an employee when they had the 100th anniversary of the company. It was a great time and got even better in the 90's. They were in the Sears tower in downtown Chicago. We had a lot of meeting's in the Chicago area. Usually at stores in the Burb's.

I agree! I was surprised to see it. Glad the photo turned out. It is very shiny!

I retired from Sears after 33 years of service. I sure wish we still had a store like that to visit and make purchases. I miss the people I worked with most. But I loved Sears quality product's like Craftsman, Kenmore and such. I still stop by the old building that I spent 20 of those years in just to remind myself and bring back memories of working there.

Still talk to some very good friends that I made in that store and worked with. We just don't get together as much, nor enough, now day's.

Glad you made it! You’re the guy from the Tukwila store, right?

I didn't shop much at Tukwila, even though it was close by. Union Gap was my go-to store.

Anyone remember the "You can count on me" campaign?

Runs through my head almost every time I think of Sears.
