Deerbrook is closing, signs are going up tonight in the store. No news articles tonight, but my photos from this evening are on the deadmall discord.
These could be for spring help to set garden, since it’s hard to get applicants they have to put them in well in advance.
There are jobs that are also listed as “seasonal” that have not had any news of closing like Jacksonville, NC. Why would they need seasonal work in February? Are these also in the process of closing?
They added a couple more today:
Springfield MO - Sears
Houston-Willowbrook TX - Sears
In addition to that, the following Kmart stores have all had Customer Service Part-Time listings that don't explicitly say "Store Closing":
Holyoke, MA (2/4)
West Long Branch, NJ (2/4)
New York (Penn Plaza), NY (2/4)
Christiansted, VI (2/4)
Burlington, WA (2/4)
Willow Street, PA (2/4)
K–l Devil Hills, NC (2/3)
Hobbs, NM (2/3)
Farmington, NM (1/31)
Des Plaines, IL (1/31)
Out of these, it's already been reported that Holyoke, West Long Branch, Penn Plaza, Burlington, K–l Devil Hills, and Des Plaines are closing (but not all of them are confirmed yet). Could it be that the other four are closing too? If the Virgin Islands one is right, that's a really bad sign
