Sears in Cary closed Jan 2015.

 

And also, do you have a ScanSnap? It is closed officially.

 

Just wanted to post an old picture of Sears when it was Sears Roebuck. Way back when I was a kid

 

Oh okay.

 

Wow, can't imagine how that was popular back in the early 20th century

Sears Hometown Stores closing ALL locations
I know this is not on topic, but relates to the slow death of Sears and Kmart.
https://bestlifeonline.com/sears-closing-all-hometown-stores-news/
The long-promised demise of Sears has been slowly playing out for years now, and it shows no signs of stopping. Currently, the namesake chain has just about a dozen stores left in the entire country, but that's not the only brand that's struggling. Sears Hometown Stores Inc., a franchise-owned chain also under the Sears umbrella, is now gearing up to close its last remaining locations across the U.S. Read on to find out about the plans to liquidate and shut down 115 Sears Hometown stores.

This means the Dunn location, and has been operating since the 1960s.

 

They finished demo (kept old Belks), but it has been sitting for months now. Not sure if it has to do with Cary Zoning/permitting, or Epic games losing in court to Apple, and $500 million penalty for Fortnight lawsuits.
