Sears to Close 40 More Stores Next Year

Struggling retail department store Sears, which saw its shares get delisted from the NASDAQ lat month, announced more store closures this week.

The company said it plans to shutter 40 more stores in 2019 which is in addition to the already 142 stores the chain said it would be expecting to close toward the end of this year.

Liquidation sales at the 40 locations are set to begin late next week.

It was last month that Sears filed for bankruptcy and said then that it would be closing the 142 unprofitable stores and that more closings were expected to follow.

The company is trying to formally secure the money it needs to stay in operation long enough until it can find a potential buyer to avoid liquidation.
