A circa-'72 view of the CRABTREE VALLEY MALL Sears, which anchored the west end of the complex. This was the store's original location. It would be replaced by a new structure built as part of a mid-1990s renovation.

A detail CRAB VALLEY MALL 1972 plan shows the locations of several charter inline stores. The large empty space in the mall's Hudson Belk wing will become a Miller & Rhoads junior department store in 1973.
