The department store operator told employees Thursday that it plans to shut another round of stores next year, in addition to those that are already in the process of going dark. When Sears filed for bankruptcy Oct. 15, it was still operating a little under 700 stores. At that time, the company said it would close 142 unprofitable stores. In November, it announced the closure of 40 additional stores.
Sears told workers this week it expects to begin liquidation sales at the 80 stores (listed below) in two weeks. The accompanying Sears Auto Centers will also be shut.
CNBC reported earlier this month that the retailer was weighing closing 50 to 80 more stores, in a fight to stay alive. Sears’ chairman, Eddie Lampert, has been trying to buy the company out of bankruptcy through his hedge fund, ESL Investments.
Since filing for bankruptcy, the retailer has announced plans to close more than 260 of its 700 or so stores, or more than a third of its locations.
A Sears spokesman didn’t immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
