have identified approximately 100 non‐profitable stores, many of which will begin store closing sales in the
near future. We continue to evaluate our network of stores, which are a critical component in our
transformation, and will make further adjustments as needed and as warranted.
The company on Thursday, May 31 informed associates at 15 Kmart stores and 48 Sears stores that we will
be closing these stores in early September 2018. Eligible associates impacted by these store closures will
receive severance and will have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Kmart or Sears stores.
Customers can use the store locator function on our web sites to find the location of their nearest Kmart
and Sears stores. Liquidation sales will begin as early as June 14 at these closing stores. Following is a list of
the impacted stores. (Note – a small group of stores was pulled from the closing list of 72 stores on May 31
as they are being evaluated further). This list will be updated as appropriate.
