SEARS #2254

Opened: 1966
Closed: 2015
Address: 1301 Quentin Rd

Sears #2254, the replacement for original store #5824 in downtown Lebanon, opened in February 1966 as part of the then-enclosed Lebanon Plaza Mall. Despite the mall being converted to a power center later on, Sears continued to operate here until January 2015, when it closed. It sat vacant for just over two years until Ulta Beauty and Maurices opened in part of the former store. In June 2018, Harbor Freight tools opened in the remaining portion of the building.

Sears #1354 - Willow Grove, PA


SEARS #1354

Opened: 1987
Closed: 2022
Address: 2500 W. Moreland Rd

The last Sears in Pennsylvania. Is closed. First opened in 1987, replacing B. Altman at the Willow Grove Park Mall, Sears' Willow Grove store outlived the other two stores to make it through 2020 (Media & Harrisburg). Likely due to dismal 2021 Christmas sales, in January 2022, this store made its way onto the chopping block, and closed on March 6, 2022.

In 2016, this was one of several Sears stores to lease some of its space to Irish-based discount clothing store Primark. Formerly a three-level store, Sears #1354 was down to just one level in its final years.
