This morning, Sears had boarded its windows, but posted on boarded-up doors that it was indeed open Monday.
The anchor stores can keep hours different from the boutique and other stores in the mall as they have their own entrances and contracts with Simon Properties, the mall owner. The mall gates to the department stores will be rolled down, though, closing off mall access from Sears, Boscov's, jcpenney and Macy's.
