Sears Orlando Aug 2026

Here are some pictures I took of the top floor of the Orlando store when I went on vacation to Florida last month. (I'm a regular at the Concord location)

Out of the five remaining Sears stores that are still open today, I'm lucky enough to be able to say I've visited three of them now. I'd say Coral Gables is the best looking one, followed by Concord, followed by Orlando. The top floor in Orlando still looks alright, the issue is just that it's only accessible via an elevator at the end of a long corridor as two thirds of the bottom floor are an active construction site at the moment as they are planning to subdivide the space between Sears and a Round 1 that's apparently going to move in.

As I mentioned, the top floor isn't easily accessible and yeah there weren't too many people shopping there when I visited. That said, I don't feel comfortable taking pictures of strangers in any case.

The manager of the Concord store did tell me their sales figures are on the rise again. :p When they became the last location in California last year, that's when all the "nostalgia tourists" started coming in haha.

The prices are very good actually. Everything's always on some kind of sale.

They do still operate sears.com if you don't have a physical store nearby anymore. Keep in mind most listings these days are third party but there is a "sold by Sears" filter.
