Sears, Kmart Store Closings 2019: More Locations Set To Close, Could Your Local Spot Be Affected?
Sears and Kmart store continue to shutter, with an additional 100 locations set to close by the end of 2019. Liquidation sales for some of the stores are set to begin mid-September.
The announcement comes after the news that 21 Sears and five Kmart locations are already set to close in October.
Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October. Both Kmart and Sears have had poor sales due to competition from other big-box retailers and online shopping services such as Amazon.
Store locations across the country will be closed, from Florida to California.
Sears Holdings sold all of its assets to ESL Investments in February, which is former Sears Chairman and CEO Eddie Lampert's hedge fund. ESL's affiliate Transform Holdco LLC is now the parent company of both Kmart and Sears.
On June 3, ESL acquired Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores Inc., after the company spun off from Sears Holdings in 2012.
Online shopping has transformed retail in the U.S., with brick-and-mortar stores closing across the country. Other retailers that have seen closings include JC Penney's, Payless and Dave's Bridal. Toy giant Toys R Us also closed all of its locations this year.
Sears, which was founded in 1897, had been the largest U.S. retailer until the early 1990s, when its sales began to lag behind Walmart and Kmart. Kmart became a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corp. in 2005.
