What Sears looks like in 2023

So Sears still exists apparently? Probably not for much longer though...

This was recorded at the Orlando Florida location on November 27th 2023.

This place isn't a retail store for customers. It's a Sears museum which will be preserved so that future generations can see what a Sears was once like.

Who would have thought one day buying from Sears would be “supporting a small business”?

I remember playing the original Sonic the Hedgehog on a kiosk in our local Sears when I was 10 years old. The Green Hill Zone music is forever burned into my brain.

i’ve been to this location in the last year. the vibe in there is so nostalgic the first thing that came out of my parents mouth was “this reminds me of the 80s”. such a cool place to see

Watch and jewelry repair in this day and age?!?! still huge lol we all still use analog watches to dress up nice for work, at least I do, so I often have to visit them to re-size my watches :D

Say what you will but these are INCREDIBLE graphics for an RPG of the era.

Big Lot's is like this, too. Big department store that's completely empty at what you would think would be "busy" hours. It almost gives me this liminal feeling of unease. Super fascinating experience.

Feels like a flashback to the 1990s. Complete with Flaming Turbo Escalator Mode! Thanks for the trip!

So weird to see a store like this completely void of customers

Brings back memories of growing up I'm the 90s and spending hours in Sears shopping for clothes, electronics, shoes, and everything my family wanted.

I was just at this Sears a few days back they shut all of them down by me and Sears was my first job! I was honestly shocked to see this store pretty well stocked for a Sears. The ones that reopened in Burbank and Union Gap have a full Toy Department and they look really good!

I forgot sears even existed at this point

They probably have to maintain the elevator as operating for ADA compliance to have wheelchair access to the upper level.

i think the last thing i bought from Sears was like back in 91. sears was the only place that had old floppy games for sale. i used to love looking at the boxes. They also had ps2 games in 2009 lol

I don't remember all the specifics, but in 1985 I had work done on my old beater car at a Sears Auto Center in Albany, NY. They made a mistake that caused the car to fail on the NYS Thruway about an hour or two east of Buffalo. I got towed out and had the car fixed by a private mechanic for approximatedly $400. He mentioned that Sears was very proud of their reputation, and I should show them the repair receipt.
So, there I was, at a different Sears Auto Center with the two receipts, one not from Sears. Took about 5 minutes, no hassles, and they paid for the entire second repair that their mistake caused. Those were the days.

sears must be devoting 98% if their resources to this store.

The Sears at the Florida Mall in Orlando, the one you're making the video of....I'm happy to see it's still open! My Mother died in 1995. I'm 38, but I remember going with her many times and enjoying this store when I was young!

I hope this location sticks around for a while. Hope it gets more customers too!

I was thinking this would be a shitpost about how Sears is like EA because of the thumbnail.
