The Sears store in Concord is now California's last remaining location, following the closures of others. The parking lot is often empty, and the store lacks customers. Community members express sadness over its disrepair and limited awareness of its operation. The parent company is promoting the site for lease, indicating a shift toward redevelopment. Founded in 1893, Sears was once America's largest retailer, but its failure to adapt to changing retail trends has led to its decline, with only a few locations remaining across the U.S.
"The parent company's website already suggests the Sears property is available for lease. An online brochure advertises its 'prime East Bay location' and its 'large-scale redevelopment opportunity.'"},{
