Sears has a huge history, and as much as I would like to see it survive I think it is done for. The only way I can see Sears continuing is if the name is bought by another company, and they start from scratch. The stores are too worn out to try to revive. At this point the best thing to do is to got them and completely refurbish them. That of course cost money that Sears does not have. Some malls are taking advantage of big anchor stores like Sears and Macy's pulling out to cut of those the blocks of space into smaller stores or do you use them for things that draw in more people like medical Suites for doctors and dentists, gyms, Grocery stores. Things that people go to on a regular basis. I've even heard of some malls converting up her levels that have been vacant for years into Apartments. I am curious to see how many of these anchor stores are converted into Apartments. The store I worked at had three levels and I could easily see how it could be converted into Apartments.
