One of Sunrise Mall’s long-standing tenants has closed up shop, after decades of business in the same location.
The well-worn corner near the Women’s Macy’s that was home to See’s Candies for more than 40 years is now vacant with a sign on the door that reads “We’re closing but don’t worry, we’re still close by!”
The last day for the business was Saturday, July 22, according to the posted information. Shoppers were referred to the nearest open location at 1825 Douglas Blvd., in Roseville.
The Sentinel could not confirm if the shop was one of the first mall tenants, but a business license that once hung behind the register dated back to the early days of Sunrise Mall, an employee previously told The Sentinel.
The closure comes as the company is set to open a new flagship store in the former Patelco building in Sunrise MarketPlace. The new 10,621-square-foot, two-story location will include a retail shop, corporate offices, and a business-to-business operations unit for corporate sales, according to a previous report by The Sentinel.
