In 1928, just in time for the Christmas season, Sears opened a
Catalog and Merchandise Distribution Center in Boston,
Massachusetts. The CMDC remained in operation until the 1990s
when Sears closed down the company’s catalog operations. The
complex was sold to developers in 1997. The developers
transformed the complex into a retail and office complex called
the Landmark Center.
Over the years, Sears opened 37 retail stores of various
sizes in communities across Massachusetts. Some of these stores
were later closed.
The earliest stores were opened in 1928; this is a partial
listing of the earliest Sears stores in Massachusetts.
