Celebrate Gwinnett’s bicentennial with a pool party

What to know about Sears at Gwinnett Place Mall closing In May, Sears announced that its location at Gwinnett Place Mall will close. It was deemed one of more than a dozen "non-profitable" stores in the round of closures by the company. In June, a luxury apartment developer purchased the Sears building at Gwinnett Place Mall. Gwinnett County Commissioner Jace Brooks, who represents the area, called the purchase “a very positive move toward meaningful redevelopment” at the mall.
