Sears #1073 - Exton, PA
Sears #1073, located at the Exton Square Mall in Exton, Pennsylvania opened in 1999 as one of the mall's first anchors (Boscov's and Macy's also opened that year). It featured the Sears prototype of the time. The Auto Center closed in 2017. The store itself must've done pretty well, as it lasted until September 2019 (although it's only 24 minutes away from the still-surviving Media location).

Kmart #3196 - Pottstown, PA
Kmart #3196, located at 2200 E. High Street in Pottstown, Pennsylvania (even though it's technically in Sanatoga) opened in 1980 as part of the Sanatoga Shopping Center. It closed in 2014 (2 years after Pottstown's Sears) and became Liberty Thrift Store soon after, in 2016, although Kmart's facade remains to this date. Also, may I add that this is the first 1980s store that I have photographed.
