Sears to shutter 80 more stores in 2019, here's where
Bankrupt retailer Sears is closing another 80 store locations in the coming year, the company confirmed on Friday.
“As part of Sears Holdings' processes to accelerate its strategic transformation and facilitate its financial restructuring, on December 27, 2018, the company informed associates at 80 stores that we will be closing these Sears and Kmart stores in late March 2019,” Sears said in a statement.
The liquidation process for the store locations is expected to begin in two weeks.
The newly identified 80 stores will add to the 40 locations Sears said in November would close during February 2019.
In both cases, the Sears Auto Centers will also be shutting down alongside the store locations.
Sears filed for bankruptcy in October and has since struggled to restructure its business to return to profitability – which has included shuttering stores and spinning off popular brands. Former CEO Eddie Lampert officially submitted a $4.4 billion bid for the struggling retailer on Friday to avoid liquidation, hoping to keep 425 stores open and 50,000 employees working.
The retailer has not turned a profit since 2012.
