BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — Lakeview Square Mall in Battle Creek is looking at losing all three of its anchor stores.
Sears, an iconic department store, said Wednesday it has “substantial doubt” it will be able to keep its doors open.
That could mean Lakeview Square Mall may lose its last anchor — word came down in January that the Macy’s there would close and the J.C. Penney will shut down this summer.
“Macy’s was a big hit, and I think J.C. Penney’s is going to be as well,” said Laura Bean, a shopper at Lakeview Square Mall.
For now, a hiring sign remains outside the Lakeview Square Mall Sears and things will remain the same until further notice.
“Our Sears is still an active Sears, it’s still an active part of our mall and we’re really hoping that this isn’t the case,” said Kara Beer, the president of the Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce.
