Are there any Sears stores open? Any word if they are reopening on May 1st? I've checked and no public announcement of Sears as a whole folding so that was BS.
The shutdown
The conference did occur, just not for the public yet. I should know because I was involved in it. There will be a announcement being made by end of week on the state of the company and its future to survive this pandemic.
Severance what to expect?
Store is not closed yet......will I get anything? Full timer over here. Please real answers.

What about all the closed sears stores looters
The looters might try to get in. They like to take the things and not pay for them. This happens more when the stores are shut closed. They know no body is there and break the windows to get the things.
