Sears Releases List of Kmart and Sears Stores Closing
Sears Holdings announced that the company will close 68 Kmart and 10 Sears stores this summer.
In February, the company said that it would accelerate the closing of unprofitable stores. Today's announcement follows a comprehensive evaluation of the company's store portfolio that took into account historical and recent store performance, and the timing of lease expirations. All of the Sears stores and nearly all of the Kmart stores will close in late July; two Kmart stores will close in mid-September.
The Kmart in Hartford is included in the list.
"The decision to close stores is a difficult but necessary step as we take aggressive actions to strengthen our company, fund our transformation and restore Sears Holdings to profitability," saidEdward S. Lampert, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sears Holdings. "We're focusing on our best members, our best categories and our best stores as we work to accelerate our transformation."
According to a release, eligible associates impacted by these store closures will receive severance and will have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Kmart or Sears stores.
The closing Kmart and Sears stores will start their liquidation sales on May 12 and April 29, respectively. Following is a complete list of the impacted stores:
