Sears Store Closure Sale in Calgary Alberta

Just a few weeks before Black Friday, often thought of as the "Super Bowl of shopping," Sears is demonstrating that it's perhaps the saddest and most prominent victim of the so-called retail apocalypse. Sears and Kmart, which are both owned by Transform Holdco, are set to close 96 total stores by February 2020, according to a press release from the parent company.

 

At the beginning of the year, Sears and Kmart announced it would shut down 80 stores. After the newly announced 96 store closures are complete, only 182 Sears and Kmart stores will be left in the United States. As recently as five years ago, there were about 2,000 Sears and Kmart stores. Even other struggling department store brands seem to be in much better shape than Sears: J.C. Penney, for example, has over 800 stores still open.

 

Liquidation sales at Sears and Kmart stores will begin on Dec. 2, just after Black Friday and Thanksgiving sales, so consider holiday shopping there.

 

Sears narrowly escaped complete shut-down after filing for bankruptcy in fall 2018. Since then, more than 250 stores have closed their doors. In the past 15 years Sears and Kmart have closed more than 3,500 stores and cut about 250,000 jobs, according to USA Today.

 

The company says that it received $250 million from its owners and a third-party investor to try and revamp business along with closing down a third of its department stores. But, as foot-traffic shopping continues to decline, the likelihood the brand makes it out alive is slim to none. Here's the lastest list of Kmart and Sears store closures:
