San Jacinto Mall Sears, Baytown Texas. Closed December 2018

Sears at San Jacinto Mall opened in 1981 along with the rest of the mall. The store closed on December 9, 2018. As of this posting only 2 full size Sears in the Houston area will be open past April of 2020. North Shepherd Rd. and the Pasadena Macroplaza Mall locations. The Deerbrook and Willowbrook Mall locations are currently at the beginning of the store closing liquidation sales.

As you can see, this store had a very nice electronics department at one point. TV's used to wrap around the whole department and there were full shelves all across this area.

It was nice to see the We ❤ Texas sign.

Last TV for sale at this location. The electronics department here was one of the better ones just a couple of years earlier. By this time the department was down to just small items.

Out with the old, in with the new. The store closing banner is going up in the background of this photo. This was in October 2018.

This was such an awesome view, now this spot is in the middle of a grassy field.


The store closed on Sunday December 9th, 2018.
Aftermath of the closing photos will be added in the future.

Demolition started on June 28, 2019 of the Sears and about 2/3 of the mall space. Mervyn's, Service Merchandise, Marshalls, also were demolished in addition to the majority of the interior mall. 

Demolition photos starting in July 2019.




 

The store is all gone now. The fencing is down and grass has grown over the field as of February 2020. The last portion of San Jacinto Mall closed on Jan 5th, 2020 at 6pm.
Only Macy's and JCPenney remain open as of the posting of this article.

Farewell Sears at San Jacinto Mall! More San Jacinto Mall and many more updates coming soon.
