Came in with my boyfriend to get him a new pair of work boots. We went by the escalator to get to the boots upstairs, and I happened to look over and noticed the bottom level of the three levels was blocked off and empty. We were not aware the location was closing later this year, but it appears the store had already begun the process.
We did not find a size we needed, so we proceeded to the exit. We were only noticed escalators going up when we were near them, so we looked for the elevator so we could leave. The bottom floor button was covered and said an alarm would sound if it was pressed. We pressed the button for the main floor, but did not think we moved. The doors were closed a while, I was getting ready to panic, and then they opened to let us out onto the main floor.
Sears used to be the place to shop for the work boots and pants, but it appears this location has already given up.
