It was four years ago this week that Sears announced it would be closing its store at Woodland Mall. The two-story department store had been one of the original anchors when the the mall opened in 1967. The decision to construct Woodland Mall in then Paris Township was the catalyst for the residents to incorporate to become the City of Kentwood.
The Sear store closed in March and in the late summer of 2017, Woodland Mall began a $100 million upgrade project that included reconfiguring the former Sears location for the mall’s newest anchor store, Von Maur. (Photo provided by Woodland Mall.)
