Children's apparel
The children's apparel departments were located in a part of the store that was repaired after a freak rain storm caused a good-sized portion of the roof to collapse, which was maybe a year or two prior to the early 2008 tornado that did damage (yet again) to this poor Sears. I could no longer find any articles about the first roof collapse, but you can read about the mall (and the 2008 tornado, which more or less was the end of major retail for the already struggling mall), at this 2010 labelscar posting.
