Newburgh Sears closing

The Sears store in the Newburgh Mall has announced that it will be closing its doors after 43 years in the Newburgh community on Sunday, October 16. The announcement came via the Sears Newburgh Facebook page.

“It’s with a heavy heart to be announcing the Sears Store at the Newburgh Mall is closing its doors on October 16. We want to thank the community for its support over the last 43 years here in the Newburgh Mall,” the company said in a Facebook post.

The Sears location is opposite to the former BonTon location on the opposite side of the mall. The BonTon store space has now been converted into the highly anticipated Hudson Valley Resorts World Casino that is set to open this coming fall. The Sears store is the company’s last full-service retail store in New York State and the last remaining original store from when the Newburgh Mall opened in 1980. Prior to the mall’s opening, Sears ran a department store on lower Broadway in the City of Newburgh for many years.

A representative from Sears Newburgh directed further inquiries and community updates from the Mid-Hudson Times to the Sears Media Relations team. The team did not respond to request for comment after several calls.
