It's closing
The five remaining small stores are listed at https://www.sears.com/stores . However, this page is not very useful, as it only shows stores that are within 100 miles of a given zip code. The vast majority of US zip codes are not within 100 miles of any kind of Sears store anymore.
To the posters below, ya, their website looks ancient, but they damn sure aren't going to bother fixing/upgrading, it now. The Hometowns will all be closed very soon, so the website will just Die with the stores. Moot point now.........by this Time next Month, there will neither be any Sears Hometown stores, nor any hometown website.
They should, however, either make a separate website for the remaining (non hometown) small stores, or else include them in the regular Sears website (for full line stores).
@1btb+1kxi8kpz
That has got to be 1 of the most clunkiest websites I have ever seen. It honestly looks like it was designed by a 11th grader, back in 1993, during the Compuserve/AOL, dial-up era. Sheesh, that is primitive!
Some time yesterday, Sears Hometown removed the store list and turned off the zipcode-based store locator on its website:

https://www.searshometownstores.com/store-locator
@1hpq+1kxi8kpz Exactly right! If they are closing 100+, or however many Sears Hometowns, then why co-mingle these 5, non closing stores, by including them on the website for a moribund, soon to be obsolete, chain? But then again, this is Sears we're Talking about here, so it shouldn't make sense. What else should I expect from a company run by idi0ts?
Transformco brought this confusion upon itself by including the five company-owned small-format stores (including Camp Hill, and also Overland Park which was also the subject of an erroneous news report) in the store list at SearsHometownStores.com .
Wait, so what about that other link that showed it was closing? (You Know who) already has a video "going over" this closing, LMAO!
Probably going to get sued by at least one of those states for falsely advertising discounts at those stores.
It's all right either way, just give it time!
