Kmart Will Close Many Stores Across 28 States
More than 60 Kmart stores will be closing soon and liquidation sales will begin on September 22nd and close by mid December.
According to employees who spoke to Business Insider, Sears Holdings, who owns both Sears and Kmart, informed Kmart employees last Friday of the closings.
Seritage Growth Properties, a real-estate-investment trust that owns 235 Sears and Kmart stores, revealed in a filing last Friday as well that Sears had decided to terminate leases on 17 stores, meaning it would close those stores.
RBC Capital Markets analysts believe all 17 closures are Kmart stores and they will close by January.
