A Selfish, Illogical, and Harmful Parking Policy Sears, a store that desperately needs customers, has made a parking decision that only creates frustration and alienates the mall community. The new policy banning only mall employees from parking in Lot 4 is not just unfair—it’s discriminatory. If there were actually high demand for these spots, the restriction might be understandable. But that’s not the case. Your store is rarely busy, and your massive parking lot sits empty daily—these pictures were taken on a Saturday at 12 PM! Instead of fostering goodwill, you are forcing hard-working mall employees to park absurdly far away—some as far as OBT—and walk an unreasonable distance just because you can. This is an abuse of power and a complete disregard for the realities of working in the mall. Like it or not, Sears is part of this community. Workers, store owners, vendors, and delivery partners all contribute to the mall’s success. This decision feels nothing short of revengeful, illogical, authoritarian, and selfish. It shows a total lack of diplomacy and consideration for the very people who help keep the mall running. By enforcing this rule, you are ignoring the fact that mall employees are also potential customers. Lot 4 is a crucial parking area near working entrances, and convenient parking is already scarce. Yes, the parking lot belongs to Sears—but your store is always empty. How can you justify making life harder for others when you don’t even need the space? Now, everyone affected is forced to park extremely far away. After a long day of work, employees leave late, exhausted, and must endure a dark, unsafe walk just to reach their cars—regardless of bad weather, carrying heavy objects, or personal safety concerns. This policy is not just inconvenient; it puts people at risk. The photos below speak for themselves—this decision serves no real purpose other than making life harder for the mall’s workforce. I hope Sears reconsiders and makes a decision that benefits both the mall and its own struggling store. If you can’t bring in customers, at least don’t make enemies out of your neighbors. That’s just bad business.

They had good deals but the stuff was from questionable quality, also the staff wasn’t nice nor helpful. The store felt really old and with a lot of flaws like the stairs to the second floor were not functional, the card machine was old and didn’t take Apple Pay.
