Essentia purchases former Sears store at Duluth mall

Essentia Health purchased the former Sears store in Duluth's Miller Hill Mall.

It will allow the health care system to offer a "variety of services to its patients at a convenient location," but exact plans haven't been finalized, according to a news release.

"Malls across America are redefining themselves as retailers close their stores. Essentia Health sees an opportunity to contribute to the redevelopment and vibrancy of the Duluth mall," the release read.

It’s the second Miller Hill space Essentia has purchased. The Miller Hill Health Plaza opened in the fall, and more services will be added to its second floor, according to the release.
