FREDERICK, Md. (DC News Now) — Sears was a big part of many people’s retail shopping experience, but the legendary department store is about to close its last location in Maryland.
The Sears at the Francis Scott Key Mall in Frederick opened in 1978, but its last week in business is here.
“I grew up on Sears,” said Sandra Forest. “We used to shop and my mom brought us and we’d buy our clothes, shoes, everything from Sears. Even appliances.”
Before closing for good on Jan. 15, 2023, a few shoppers took the opportunity to make one more visit.
“I am looking to get out here and get some good deals on tools,” said Jim Cooper. “I always loved the tools when I was growing up and now I get some good deals.”
At one time, Sears was the largest retailer in the world. Now, fewer than two dozen stores remain in the U.S.
