In 2022, the Sears hometown store in Sklim and the Sears hometown store in Port Angeles were the only Sears stores on the North Olympic Peninsula. They both closed following the retirement of then current owner, Mrs. Inner. She decided to retire because she couldn't reach an agreement with her corporate partners. She was quoted, I told Sears I wanted to go down to one store and keep the Sklim location open for the community. She wanted to close the Port Angeles store since it was so close to the Sklim location and had gone as far as to begin purchasing the building in Sklim. Mrs. Ingle said it was difficult to keep the two stores open and keep them fully staffed at both locations since they were so close to each other and essentially serving the same population. She understood that both stores would remain open under corporate ownership. She said that they got the stores in pristine condition and the employees were on board with staying. She said I was literally retired for six days and they announced the stores were closing. There were five employees between the two stores. In a hometown, folks stand by their good name.
