I always wonder...Thanks for documenting this store! I always wondered about the Gwinnett Place Sears store in Duluth, GA, myself. It really is too bad, they didn't copy off the elements of this Sears prototype store, at other stores. And to me, this IS a prototype regardless of what that Sears higher up company guy said!<br /><br />I'm puzzled, why the pre-1958 logo wasn't also adopted on the outside of the store, and in certain parts of the inside like the photo area. Still, this is yet another one of those things Sears screwed up on during the Eddie Lampert era of the company, and didn't execute the design stuff well enough to also be implemented at other locations. A different example, is how the Sears Grand stores were never fully implemented and worked on enough, where for all I know they could've expanded on those to compete with Target and Walmart. Maybe if that had been successful, or Sears Essentials, they could've transformed all Kmart stores into that, and better competed with Target and Walmart?<br /><br />Speaking of Sears, I hope to get to Oak Brook Center, and see how that renovated store is doing. Which similarly like the Gwinnett Place Mall Sears, got a lot of press in the Chicago Tribune business section right after it opened. If I knew your email address, I might just email those pictures to you, so that you could do a blog article on that store, with myself supplying all those pictures to you. And as of right now, there still are NOT any plans to close that store just yet, thankfully! This Sears at Oak Brook was downsized during that recent renovation, btw.<br /><br />-Allan(prfsnlwannabe on flickr and instagram)Allan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12105421848613958393noreply@blogger.com
