I came across these pictures recently, taken in 2018, and as best as I can figure, the store closed not too long after that.

Apparently Sears Hometown Store (sometimes also known as Sears Home Improvement perhaps) was somewhat separate from the failing general retail stores, focusing more on hardware & appliances. It was apparently also separate from Sears Appliance Repair, which still seems to be around.

  1. I remember talk at one time about Sears dropping everything but tools, appliances and auto service and supplies and become something of a latter-day Western Auto. For some reason, this was never done however, despite the fact many at the time felt such a move could have saved the company.
