Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but I'm a short period of time, they will both be gone. If you are stupid enough to still rely on either place as your main source of income, start looking now...grab a seasonal job at Costco or Walmart or... — read more 

Anyone notice a lot of posts and replies removed? I posted last night - “We’ve been tricked, backstabbed, and bamboozled” and it was taken down despite no censored or sensitive content. TLO is compromised

To those still believing in Eddie and TransformCo, why? Why troll (it’s cheap laughs) or be serious in believing that TransformCo has a future of growth and success? This company is doomed, and will close down. The IP will be bought up by... — read more 

The last part of my carreer, after working elsewhere, I worked for Sears for longer than a decade. I worked my way up to a good sales position, however, I was getting kinda long in the tooth, and decided to retire. I LOVED working there, made... — read more 

A lot of decisions based on what happens here, far more than he ever did on Pebble. It's funny how it serves Pebble's purpose, except in a way that's truly anonymous, and in a public forum where people can truly speak their minds. It drives him and... — read more

How long does the liquidation process take? And in what dynamique are workers let go?

Just was informed by Sears DM that he has a conference call tomorrow regarding the reorganization of districts and some changes. Also 10/3 there will be some possible announcements of closings but he thinks Kmart will be hit hard with some Sears... — read more 

I believe that many stores in California are set for closure in the near future, especially if we keep in mind that there are a lot of stores in that state. So, unfortunately the logical move is to thin the presence in that state. This is only my... — read more 

Wish you remaining folks were in a better situation. Sad to see it end this way. Hope they shut this operation down soon while the job pickings are still good in this country.

Does anyone know if NJ-NY Sears/Kmart Store closure will be announced on that day or not?

They are apparently closing STAC because the Techs do not need them and the property is worth a fortune , just look on google maps , why keep it , the techs have all the information we had , why does STAC have to hold their hands thru every repair... — read more 

Sears had a huge archive of their old stuff at the headquarters. Kmart too. Anyone here know anything about what happened/will happen to all of it? Donated to a library? Thrown in the dumpster? I'd ask them myself but they don't pick up the phone... — read more 

There will still be waves, but not the megawave as previously planned.

I don't know if everything that was predicted will come true, but if only half of it does, next month will be brutal. Sadly, now that I think about it, that's a good description of every "next" month in the past two years (if not longer.) It... — read more 

My closing Kmart store has a sign, that they are not participating in advertised Kmart sales / promotions. Do they still participate in the SYW program ?

What to expect on October 1? Few isolated closings or a massive list?

Took a little trip to Sears in Central Los Angeles to check out some deals. Wow! The store now carries total off-brand merchandise. Stuff you'd find in Fallas Paredes or at the Fashion District a few miles away. My take is that its vendors no longer... — read more 

Sears is not closing all stores they are building a spartan race hang on tight only the strong will remain.

Stac is about loose one manager and all but one supervisor! October 1st week or 2nd week of october!leaked news not sure if confirmed.

I went to a Kmart today and was shocked! The store was packed and busy. People were buying all sorts of stuff. What made me confused was why anyone would buy clothes at 20% or 30% off when they could’ve bought them for 60% off two weeks ago before... — read more 

Christmas pillows, throws and some decorations have started arriving. Much of the new Craftsman stuff coming in is in black packaging as opposed to red (pretty much all socket sets and wrench sets).

Greetings from one of the pink slippers at HE. Here's what I know: the announcement will be made on or around 10/21. The goal is to close the books on Q3, then Q4 will be total liquidation of all remaining Kmarts (and some additional Sears) starting... — read more

At least former KMart leaders who committed actual fraud went on the record to apologize for their role in destroying the brand here in the US. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-us-sec-kmart-ceo-091609-2009sep16-story.html

Sorry, my computer somehow added all kinds of numbers to the format of my last list so let me try that again. Here are the stores, that, to my research, are not yet closed or closing. Everything here is verifiable. Painstaking process, but here's... — read more 

Just speculation but my business partner ships to Sears and is slow paid or asked to take partial payment so they stopped shipping there candy . Anyone else hearing this as it makes it hard for holiday merchandise such as candy not yet shipped.

This Christmas season if they are not careful. Consumers may not want to buy them because they might think that the company is having problems. The cards could be tough to redeem.

Kmart doesn't exist in 27 states. Most of the other states have only 1 Kmart, and the only states with more than 3 are CA, MA, PA, NY, NJ, & FL. It doesn't make sense to maintain a brand that far flung with no value proposition whatsoever over the... — read more
