Edgewater Mall welcomes back Sears
Sears Automotive Center will re-open its doors at Edgewater Mall this weekend, representing a $2 million, state-of-the-art automotive center covering 14,000 square feet.
Mall Manager Terry Powell said the store will open its doors at 8 a.m. on Saturday, occupying its same, pre-Katrina footprint.
The Sears progress, incidentally, is only one of the moves Edgewater Mall has in the offing. On March 4, the new Books-a-Million location will open in the mall, boasting 13,800 square feet. The bookstore will have its formal grand opening celebration in mid-March.
