At least two Sears stores, in Lynwood, Wash., and Paramus, N.J., along with their adjacent auto centers, will be converted into standalone appliance showrooms, based on a pilot store that opened last spring in Colorado.
“Sears Holdings Corp. said its Oak Brook store is among a dozen stores nationwide set to be reduced by half with their auto centers eliminated or changed into just appliance stores by 2018. The Sears store and its Sears Auto Center in Oakbrook Center, along with 11 others, were sold to the GGP-Seritage Growth Partners Joint Venture last year.”
