There is 1 vacant anchor store that was once Sears.

Jacobs Visconsi & Jacobs jointly developed Eastgate Mall with Homart Development Company, J.C.P. Realty, and Cincinnati Partners.[2] Construction began in 1974, with J. C. Penney and Sears confirmed as anchor stores.[3] At opening day, the mall featured these two stores, along with 90 other tenants and space for two additional department stores.[4]
McAlpin's opened to the public in 1992. It would be renamed Dillard's in 1998.[5] On August 4, 1995, Kohl's would officially open as the mall's fourth anchor store.[6]
In March 2015, Dillard's was transformed into a clearance center and the number of floors was reduced to just one.[7]
On August 31, 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing this location as a part of a plan to close 85 stores nationwide.[8] The store closed on December 15, 2019.[failed verification]
On July 30, 2021 it was announced that Kroger bought the former Sears location at Eastgate Mall. It is unclear, as of March 2026, what Kroger plans to do with the former Sears building.
