After several reprieves, the Sears store at Washington Crown Center will be closing. Store officials say it will shut its doors in December. The Washington Crown Center Sears was one of the last two remaining stores in the immediate area to stay open amid a plethora of shutdowns across the country. The other remaining store is at the Westmoreland Mall in Hempfield Township. There has been no word yet on when the store’s liquidation sale will begin.
