Reno Sears closing its doors at Meadowood Mall, plans for new tenants

The Sears store anchoring the east side of Meadowood Mall will be closing, according to reports by Business Insider.

Employees at other locations received letters from Sears human resources that stores will close on or around July 29. The list includes 10 other Sears and two more Kmart stores. This comes after Sears announced closing 166 stores earlier this year.

A planning application with the city of Reno shows the Sears and the Sears Auto Center being split up into three separate tenants, including Round1, a Japanese-based family-friendly arcade, bowling and entertainment venue.

The RGJ contacted Seritage — the owners of Sears — Sears corporate and the architects multiple times with no response. A Meadowood Mall spokesperson said they could not comment on the plans. The RGJ requested comment from Round1, too.

A sales flyer also shows the entire store up for lease.
