Oakland Sears Store Closing By End Of Summer
OAKLAND (CBS SF) -- The sears store in downtown Oakland will be gone by the end of summer.
The building on Broadway has been sold and the company has no plans to stay there. The new owners plan to turn it into a retail and office center.

The store was targeted in recent years during protests and had numerous windows broken. Store managers decided not to replace them after a riot, last summer.
