Sears, Kmart issue list for fresh round of store closures

Must Read

Retail store brands Sears and Kmart announced their latest round of store closures on Tuesday, as accounted by Business Insider.
Sears and Kmart will be closing 30 more stores in 2017 as the two retailers watch sales and revenue continue to spiral down.
Most of the stores will begin liquidation sales on Jan 6 and are expected to be out of business as early as March.
“We have been strategically and aggressively evaluating our store space and productivity, and have accelerated the closing of unprofitable stores as previously announced,” said Sears Holdings Corporate Communications Director, Howard Riefs.
After this round of closures, Sears will have fewer than 1,500 stores left, which is 2,000 less stores less than it had at the start of 2011.
Last quarter, Sear’s sales dipped to $5 billion, a 13 percent drop from the previous quarter, noted Business Insider.
The company has lost nearly $750 million this year, almost $300 million more than was lost last year.
Same-store sales also took a hit, as Sears saw a 10 percent decrease and Kmart a 4.4 percent decrease in the most recent quarter.
