Sears to close Kansas store in Lawrence ending 45-year presence

City leaders note past retail cycles, with 2011 sales tax rising 4.3 percent and newcomers like Natural Grocers and Mattress Firm signaling a market turning. Experts expect activity in 2012 as landlords eye opportunities and Old Navy and Ross rumors swirl.
