Former Sears Department Store

Opened in 2002 after Sears relocated from the former Tampa Bay Center, and closed on March 11, 2019 after 17 years.

Last 3 days! The above store closing signs are common at any retailer.

No items and empty salesfloor are common for closing stores.

Empty checkout space.

Due to store closing, and store fixtures/equipment sale signs.
