Quintard Mall (1970-present), featuring the former Britt's Department Store (Britt's 1970 - sometime in the early 1980s, Sears October 9 1985, building expanded 1997 - July 17 2016), J.C. Penney (1970-present) and other tenants, in Oxford, Alabama

Quintard Mall opened in Oxford, Alabama in 1970 with J.C. Penney and Britt’s (J.J. Newberry Co.) as anchor stores. There was also a SupeRx Drugs and a number of other stores, with Martin's as a junior anchor.

On October 9th of 1985, Sears opened in the former Britt's building, and the [building was expanded in 1997, with the mall itself being expanded in 2000, adding 2 anchors Dillard's and AmStar 12 Cinemas] (https://web.archive.org/web/20091005032251/http://www.icsc.org/srch/sct/sct0501/page141.php). It had a black 1984-1994 logo outside the building, and blue 1994-2004 logo inside the mall, along with a totally unique interior and exterior design and mall entrance. That same year of this store opening, in 1985, [Sears Hardware Stores began opening] (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/01/07/Sears-Roebuck-and-Co-Monday-announced-plans-to-open/3314473922000/).

On July 17th of 2016 this store closed down and it had since been demolished in 2019, around that same year the last Sears in Alabama that opened on May 8th of 1996 closed down on October 27th, located at the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham.
As of this post, there are 5 Sears stores, 3 distribution centers, other brands Kenmore, Sears Home Services, Shop Your Way, Sears Parts Direct and the Sears.com online store left.
