I've probably assumed that it was struggling more than it was since I see the downtown Winnipeg location every day (which has closed over half of its floors).
On another note, what will come of all those malls that have Sears as one of their main tenants? Practically every major Canadian mall has a Sears and HBC as their flagship stores. Are there other retailers out there that would be willing to take over a space that size? Sears has about 15 million sq ft of space across Canada, a lot of space to fill.

Well the one at Chinook Centre was replaced by Nordstrom. Also used to be an old Zellers which was replaced by Target which is supposedly being replaced by Saks Fifth Avenue. Our downtown Sears was replaced by Holt Renfrew. Still a few other Sears locations around town, but I'm sure they can be replaced too.
