== Creating pages for places (like Sears) you know exist, but don't know the store number ==
In this case, I know of two additional Sears locations here in the city of Cheyenne, Wyoming (even down to within a year of when they opened and closed), but I don't know their store numbers. What would be the best way to go about adding a page regarding the two additional stores that I've discovered since I don't know their store numbers?[[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]]
: Hi there, I would recommend a title along the lines of [[Sears (123 Main Street, City, State)]] (although you could leave out the address if it were the only location that particular town ever had). That's what I've been doing. Since I also maintain a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zfLlX5QiRKuBQkWKmkKj-_3-YHtBsiquWNpBUB02ON4/edit#gid=1445574238 list of Sears department stores], I'm curious to know if the locations you have in mind were department stores or catalog outlets/franchises? It doesn't affect the title, I just want to make sure I'm not missing something. --[[User:Reschultzed|Reschultzed]] ([[User talk:Reschultzed|talk]]) 03:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
: (I guess it may help if I put my usertag, haha.) Okay. I knew I'd seen cases of this take place on this wiki before where there is no store number, but I couldn't seem to find them again for reference. Both these stores are catalog stores... well technically, the second one is labeled in the city directories from the time as "Sears Roebuck & Co," but it's still a smaller store floor with a small automotive shop in the back. Here in Cheyenne, Sears started on Carey Avenue near W 19th St in 1957 (at least, that date is according to someone who was noted in the Sears Frontier Mall Grand Opening section from Oct 7 and 8 of 1980 which I discovered in a newspaper from Wyoming Tribune more recently). It moved to E 17th St near Warren Avenue (modern day it is a restaurant called Two Doors Down) before moving to the department store at Frontier Mall. Let's give this a shot... The first one (Carey Ave) was [[Sears (1813 Carey Avenue, Cheyenne, Wyoming)]]. The second one was [[Sears (116 East 17th St, Cheyenne, Wyoming)]]. Then I'll just have to go to those pages and actually create the page. [[User:TheOptopolis|TheOptopolis]]
