So far we have Beaumont Texas Bel Air Maryland Add to this thread so everyone can keep track.

Does anyone know why Citizen pulled watches from the Sears stores?

When could we expect the company to shut down for good? I want to be realistic, there is no way out of this. What is better (or the lesser of two evils) at this point, jumping ship or holding out until the final end?

I posted yesterday about certain executives, no titles or initials this time, and it was removed from this page. Hey you have to admit they ARE a huge part of the problem. And the charade they are playing right now is demoralizing! I'm sure this... — read more 

No new products to sell, continued erosion of purchasing power, lack of proximity to distribution centers, etc. Stores closing that are not on any previously announced list. It is impossible to imagine any stores being left after March of 2020. — read more

How can sears or kmart buy any product in bulk enough to compete with target or walmart, with so few stores to buy for now ? With the cost of product starting out higher for kmart than for the competitors i can see no way to compete. Maybe the... — read more 

The "Social Media Relations" email that they send just ahead of big announcements just came out again today..... Very interesting.

So... This quarter target posted record revenue. If you were to believe EL he would tell you that all his problems have to do with Amazon and maybe Walmart... But yet Target is posting records. Target does not have an online presence much stronger... — read more 

So now we're being told you better maintain your metrics or your store will be next!!! Seriously how stupid do you think we are? All stores are closing good or bad metrics. You think if our one little store keeps up it's numbers it's not gonna... — read more 

Do you think it will be announced by Dec 2nd that all stores will close and liquidation will start? All stores gone by February?

someone mistakenly flipped the database records early

Who would acquire the remaining PR and USVI stores? USVI especially, there is nothing comparable on either island to KMart, and it will be a disruption for the population if those 4 stores close. Would Wal-Mart finally jump over from PR and... — read more 

Any chance Westfarmers acquires the Guam Store along with Global ownership of the KMart IP? We already know that Wesfarmers is expanding into the US with their Anko stores in Seattle, but even if they have no desire to reintroduce the KMart name in... — read more 

This is becoming a PITA to deal with and no answers from anyone. What's going on?

Make a prediction and tell us what you think about Sears Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Buzzard here, still circling. I posted about the Burbank store the other day. Another California store not on the closing list is not accepting gift cards. It gives the same error message as the stores who are on the closing list, saying that the... — read more

Lease due, no product coming in, sending transfers out and members questioning. Stress of not knowing what the actual plan is to go forward. If you are offered work eslsewhere please take it. There is no way remaining will last.

Any news on A&E?

Entire building is down 20% of its crew! Some groups barely get 32 hours per week. Building is worth millions. Some groups are down to less than 10 people and multiple supervisors left? hmm .

And I didn't see it on the latest closure list. I was in the Buena Park store trying to use a gift card, and this store is on the closure list. When you try to use it, the system spits out a message saying that the card type is invalid. Manager... — read more 

Anyone remember the BS the blew about being able to communicate now that we were out of BK. LOL. There has been even less communication of the last 90-120 days than ever before. I vividly remember how all the leaders were patting each other on... — read more 

Much to my surprise and disappointment, OKC lost its Hometown store. That means there are zero Sears for at least 50 miles from a very major and growing metro area. Unbelievable. This is not how you run a go-forward transformation plan.

It’s quite troubling that Leena munjal, who has done more harm to the health of this organization than any individual, save Eddie himself, continues to be recognized or endorsed for various awards by organizations that clearly do not do their... — read more 

Lets think about this a little bit. EL bought sears and kmart out of bankruptcy and the best parent company name they could think of was Transform HoldCo? For someone who claims to be a marketing genius with programs like SYW this seems like a... — read more 

I get it. I was laid off in August after many many years. It is awful, but I knew as you did too that with far fewer stores, they would never need all of us. It is hard because many of us worked at Sears for forever and remember a different company... — read more 

I have a inside source at abacus advisors and the plan is to shut all remaining Sears and Kmarts no later than 3/2020. The reason why they did not close the remaining stores this year is there arent enough liquidators to do the job.

We continue to pay a company to do Mystery Shops... They are useless. Puts undo stress on stores. We should just be happy a store is open. Traveling by RVP's and DM's..... We are broke BUT we still let so many people travel for no reason. Years ago... — read more

There are none.....Are they out of that business altogether?

Really surprised not many posts or comments about layoffs4 at HE

So when will the net closings be announced?

How many people are left in Hoffman? Are all the buildings (except G, F, and E) still open? When I was let go in April 2019 (after working there 20 years) it seemed like less than 700 associates were left in the whole complex. For those waiting for... — read more 

It is so stupid to play christmas music in a Kmart that is closing. It makes it more depressing. What do they think it will cheer people up?

What areas were impacted and how many?
