Thursday, a contractor is performing the task of the tear down and materials will be removed to create some out lots for the Hull Group to sell to other businesses.

By late in the year, a new state-of-the-art movie theater will appear at the mall in the old Sears building, Mayor Walker said, so the demolition is just another step to more business development.

The building is across the way from the Steak ’N Shake building and Roberts Motors, Inc., a long-time Ford dealer.
