Sears, which opened with the mall in 1988, will close in mid-July, Sears spokesman Howard Riefs wrote in an email.

The location occupies 57,200 square feet and currently employs 59 people, who Riefs said will have an opportunity to apply for positions at other Kmart or Sears stores. (The Roanoke Times)
