And then there were two...

Sears in Media, PA will close sometime in August, leaving two Sears in Pennsylvania, in Harrisburg and Willow Grove.

Kmart #3364 - Reading, PA (Exeter Township)

Kmart #3364, located at 4365 Perkiomen Ave in Reading, Pennsylvania opened on May 19, 1977, as the third Kmart to open in Berks County. It relocated to the Shelbourne Square shopping center in 1993, in a space that was formerly Ames, although the Shelbourne store closed less than 10 years later, in 2002. The original store (featured here) is now a Boscov's Outlet Center, and Kmart's facade is still in place to this date. The store at Shelbourne Square has been The Home Depot since 2003.

The Shelbourne Square store. I didn't bother to get any of my own photos, as it does not resemble Kmart in any way. (Google Maps)
