Sears is a business in Thunder Bay named in the obituary of Domenico Crupi.[1]
Intercity Shopping Centre store
Sears was an anchor store of the Intercity Shopping Centre.[2] The coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for the mall, so they are approximate for the store itself.
The original store was single-storey, with a Sears Auto Centre (gas pumps, a four-bay garage and a parts counter) near Isabella Street and Memorial Avenue. The auto centre was torn down when the mall was expanded and a new two-storey store was built, probably in the 1990s.[3] The two-storey store had escalators, among the few in the city; the others were at Thunder Bay International Airport and Eaton's.[2][3] Customers also collected their catalogue orders at the store.[3] Chris Jack worked there.[3]
The store closed in January 2018, after liquidation sales that followed the bankruptcy of Sears Canada. Its escalators remain in the empty part of the mall.[3]
