There were decades when Sears was a coveted anchor store for a mall. That was the case in 1972, when Sears opened its doors as a charter tenant at the Queen Ka’ahumanu Center. But now, when a salesman in the decimated Craftsman tool section says there are no chordless drills left, with no plans to get more, it’s clear the last Sears store standing in Hawai’i is about to fall, too.
A Sears assistant manager was asked about the status of the store. She would only say, “We’re still here,” and referred a reporter without giving her name to a Sears corporate media hotline. No one answered the hotline or returned a message. Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the fall of 2018.
