We are ahead of the curve...our local Sears store closed about 8 years ago.
My town, Bozeman, MT, lost it’s K-Mart store several years ago — made sense as it was directly across the street from our Super Walmart and the prices just were too high.
The mistake K-Mart made:
Once the store was closed, they paid ALOT of money to level the store and it’s still a concrete pad.
Over the years any empty building in my area is refurbished and put back into service including several on the exact street K-Mart was on.
The property was worth MORE with a building on it than a vacant tract of land. This community is not Detroit and we don’t ‘tag’ empty buildings and loot them.
A total waste of money...
Oh well. I haven’t gone to a Sears since the 80’s.
It's sad to see this long, slow decline.
My very first credit card was from Sears back in 1981. I felt like a big shot walking around with that card. My initial credit limit was $300. I then went out and charged Craftsman tools, a stereo system and a pair of jeans without having to lay out any cash! Those were heady days! Then the bills came and I painfully paid it all back $15/mo at a time!
I also learned that making the minimum payment is no way to pay back a credit card! Hard to believe today but mailing out that $15 check every month was painful!
Stopped going to Sears over 15 years ago due to “late fee” charge dispute...incredibly stupid management of a $20 mistake on their part! They literally lost out on tens of thousands of $$$ in sales of appliances and other merchandise over the years.
I remember saying at the time saying that those idiots will eventually go bankrupt!
Interesting that our Flagstaff, AZ store is not on the list. They’re clearing out inventory and will be closed on the last day of November.
They missed the Sears at The Galleria, in York, PA. It just closed last week.

At this point I think it would be easier to name the stores that are going to remain open.
Interesting, the one in the fancy new mall that is doing well is closing, but the one in the dead mall a few miles away is staying open, while a couple in dying malls around town are also closing.
Wow... Oh well only 2 Sears in Connecticut is closing, one at The Crystal Mall and 1 at the Connecticut Post Mall.
Only thing I will miss is the DieHard battery.
so people don’t have to give that POS a hit...
