Sears #1318 Bakersfield, CA Closing Update!

This is a update of my original post on this location that you can find Here. This Sears location is set to close in January 2019. It was announced with the other 141 locations that Sears is closing as part of their bankruptcy filing in October 2018. It is located in the busy Valley Plaza. On my follow up visit this store was very busy but still had most lots of merchandise available with very little empty space. They did put some store closing signs up but they are on a side entrance that leads to Fitness/Christmas area and not on the main store front.

Let's head inside...

A few last looks outside to end this update...

This store was vary busy during this visit with almost every cash register open with people in line waiting to be serviced. This store spans two floors and is the biggest Sears I've ever been inside of. It's sad that other than a Sears Outlet store on White Ln after this store closes Sears/Kmart will not have much presence in this area. There is a high grossing Kmart in Tehachapi that will stay open but a new Walmart nearby will open in 2019 so it's fate is in jeopardy as well. I will be visiting this store again before it closes for good so be on the lookout for another closing update from this location!
