Clearview Shopping Center / Sears Changes Coming

This has always been a bizarre shopping center. The interior mall part is a dump and mostly empty. Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and the dining places do a good business. Sears is Sears. And you have the movie theater.
Curious to see what they come up with. Depending upon how Sears shrinks, you can perhaps build one or more storefronts facing Veterans or the interstate. But all that space in the "mall" part is just wasted. And you can't do anything extreme to it, because the theater sits on the second floor.

Things went south fast after Twin Peaks shut down.

Took my kids to buy school shoes last week. The place is desolate. The food court only has two open shops. I can’t see how the mall stays open.

Those 3 keep the rest of the mall from going under. Target is keeping Esplanade Mall afloat for the time being too.

I’ve heard that sears will be downsizing and restaurants will be used in the leftover space with semolinas potentially moving to that side. Those restaurants would benefit from the increased exposure to Veterans Blvd instead of being tucked away behind the mall.

They been going down long before that... and WalkOns' is bringing in just as much business, if not more, than Twin peaks was

Plus parking would not be an issue like it is for so many restaurants. That parking lot is huge.

Off topic, but I would like to say how much I hate the Advocate website (and any other news website). My ad blocker blocked 38 ads on the page and still missed 8 others. Insane.

If Sears brought back the Catalog with the bra ads they’d probably save the company.

Remember the tropical fish store with the 2 old ladies running it?...next to Buster Brown on the right as you walked in the doors on the Vets. side.

Sears is awful now. They're not long for the world... last time I was in there we noticed tons of items on the shelves were re-taped or had wear on the packaging. It's like a bunch of refurb shite being sold. Didnt see a single employee in any department, it was eerily empty.

Malls are dead, brick and mortar shopping will continue as strip malls with anchor stores ( bed bath beyond, old navy) but malls as we knew them are done
