HOFFMAN
ESTATES (AP) -- Florida will be hit the
hardest by the closing of Sears and Kmart
stores, losing 11, according to a
preliminary list of 79 planned closures
released Thursday. |
|
Ohio, Michigan and Georgia are not far
behind, with six store closures planned in
their states. Tennessee, North Carolina and
Minnesota are set to lose four stores each.
A spokeswoman for Sears Holdings Corp.
said each store employs between 40 and 80
people.
None of the closures announced so far are
in Sears' home state of Illinois.
The 125-year-old retailer said on Tuesday
it would close up to 120 stores to raise
cash.
The projected closings represent only
about 3 percent of Sears Holdings' U.S.
stores. Sears and Kmart merged in 2005. The
company now has about 3,560 stores in the
U.S. That's up from 3,500 immediately after
the merger.
Here is the list of closures announced so
far:
