Looks like all stores will be done by next week. Liquidation company will take over and almost all staff will be let go immediately.

Nobody can tell me if New Years is a paid holiday or not. I'm only asking so I know which day to quit ;)

This is exciting because I don't want to come off vacation. Unfortunately it won't all happen at once. Popcorn out its getting to be like a great out of your seat chilling thriller... LoL I will be requesting a raise, if or most like... when I return... — read more 

There was an emergency conference call today. I have no idea how many store managers were on the call but our store was told we are going to be closed. The store manager had an assistant go around and tell everyone. There will be an early morning... — read more 

No stalking horse , no one to purchase losing opportunity in whole , Eddie does not have friends to spend on dead horse and he refuses to open wallet , Sears will be sold in very small pieces and the rest is retail history !

Wow .. the end really seems here. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2018/12/27/sears-may-need-to-liquidate-if-no-bid-comes-in-by-tomorrow.html?__twitter_impression=true

ALL stores will close "immediately" and re-open under the management of the liquidation company. Yes, it will take 2-3 months to close a store (some will close quicker and consolidate merch to other stores) but the moment liquidation starts (on a... — read more 

So no more runs to Sam's to keep the bathrooms stocked with toilet paper I guess. BYOTP and members can be wow'd and delighted by grabbing whatever's available from men's underwear I guess.

The more I watch Sears fall apart, the more it is becoming obvious that either senior leadership doesn't know how to run a retail giant, or senior leadership is running a real estate company rather than a retail company. Here's just one example that... — read more 

Subject: Basically just a mailing list to the creditors committee and referencing the previous docket filings expected to be discussed The oft delayed Ch 7 motion Store closing list Liquidation procedures The Ch 11 filing itself Sounds like fun

TRU declared Chapter 7 in early March 2018. The stores remaining at that time didn't finally shut down until late June 2018. Liquidation takes months. Everybody needs to read this. Yes, some stores will close immediately. Those closings have been in... — read more 

I was certain we'll be closed before this week started, and now it looks we'll make it into the new year. Is it stupid to be optimistic over this?

Guess who is getting paid now? Attorney fees billed in advance, all utility companies, and multitudes of other claimants. Doubt that there will be any help from the court regarding our back wages due before bankruptcy. I hear 20/20 is interested.

Sears stated that by its internal estimates the company will incur charges in the amount of approximately $443 million as a result of earlier announced store closures. I believe that this is a mild estimation and that the value of charges, in... — read more 

Forget about the severance or a thanks for staying around. Just like in Monopoly the good properties are gone and the bank is empty ... so you loose. P.S. could you please get the lights ?

If creditors opt to move for Chapter 7, things could move very quickly in completely uncontrolled fashion. Look at the Toys R Us page for how suddenly things wound down. You could be out on the streets in a matter of days.

I hate how we cannot order appliances in Southern California!!!! I can’t make a living on selling mini fridges all week long!!! Haven’t made a bonus in 2 months either!!! I’m so fed up! Something has to be illegal about this!!

Is SHC still offering severance to the salaried workers being let go? My coworker says severance is capped at 12 weeks. Is that still true?

I think I read most of the analysis of the downfall of Sears in the media and they pretty much came to the same conclusions, but I found this article to be a sincere portrait of Sears’s demise not from a perspective of someone who is an expert on the... — read more

The company was up 100% in sales yesterday. We aren't dead yet people!!!!!

How can a region with only a couple of stores even near 100% to goal be trending at 400+% an hour before closing? Looks like someone is up to something.

The one thing all remaining Sears stores are ranked #1 in is parking. No problem at all finding a parking spot, close to the building. Give Eddie credit, his "FREE PARKING" idea is brilliant.

The SHLD stock is now trading around $0.18 (with a low of $0.12-$0.15) with a market cap of 19.12M. About a month ago, it was trading at $0.40. I would definitely say that based on the stock price (and lots of other factors) that the end is near!!
