SEARS #1244 Opened:  1989 Closed:  2018 Address:  2899 Whiteford Rd Photographed:  October 2021 Sears #1244, one of the original four anchors at the York Galleria mall, opened on November 4, 1989 as the last to open in the area (Harrisburg was first, Reading was second, Lancaster was third, this one was fourth). It became the first to fall, however, being announced for closure on April 26, 2018 (Just a week after the York Galleria's Bon-Ton was announced for closure), and it closed in August 2018.  In February 2018, Penn National Gaming expressed interest in opening a mini-casino at the York Galleria. The casino opened on August 12, 2021 in the lower level of the former Sears.

SEARS APPLIANCE & HARDWARE #5213 Opened:  1999 Closed:  2018 Address:  817 E Baltimore Pike Photographed:  September 2021 Sears Appliance & Hardware #5213, 817 E. Baltimore Pike in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania opened on February 2, 1999. This must've been one of their better-performing Hardware stores, it didn't close until late 2018 (The rest of the remaining stores were shuttered by the end of 2019). In late 2019/early 2020, Dollar Tree, and a few other tenants opened in the former Sears space.

SEARS #2664 Opened:  1978 Address:  5500 Buckeystown Pike Photographed:  September 2021 Welcome to the last Sears in Maryland. Sears #2664 in Frederick, Maryland opened in July 1978 with the rest of the Francis Scott Key Mall. Following the closure of Sears #1013, Glen Burnie (2020), and #1304, Silver Spring (April 2021), this became the chain's last store in Maryland. As of September 2021, the store is open as one of seven anchors at the Francis Scott Key Mall. This "fitting rooms" sign is the lone remnant from the Lands' End store-in-store. Sadly, none of this store's price checks were working.
