Several stores have none. Texas has the most

350 hometown stores which are the size of a 7-11 and generate far less daily revenue than your average 7-11. Great forward plan! Sears will live forever!
There WERE approximately 3000 not there was. Plural not singular. Also "The purpose of this post is to allow those who like to visit about how many stores remaining to have some insight into the scope of the small store format" is a run-on sentence with errors. Let's use proper grammar and punctuation.
The purpose of this post is to allow those who like to visit about how many stores remaining to have some insight into the scope of the small store format. I do believe in the US and Canada there was approximately 3000 of these stores about a decade ago. There is a place in some rural. communities for such stores but not sure they can be be successful relying on Sears sourcing going forward.
What’s JCPenney got to do with a Sears forum?
How many JC Penneys are left?
@lpk+1eNP9mho Fair enough. I just went from the website. If it's anything like the regular Sears/Kmart websites, then it's probably inaccurate. Hopefully it just gives a ballpark of about how many are left. You're absolutely right about that Philly location. Sorry about that.
Perhaps that list isn't very well updated. The location listed in Philadelphia is actually an outlet store according to the Google image for this address.
Several "stores" have none? Huh? You meant "states", not "stores".
While the website might not be 100% accurate, here is a rough list of the amounts in each area (for some reason the 6 in PR aren't on the site, but they have FB pages):
Here is the link to Sears Hometown, small-format stores. I am listing the counts by state, as per this link:
https://www.searshometownstores.com/store-list
AL 6
AZ 7
AR 22 (WOW!)
CA 25 (Wow, but it is the biggest population state.)
CO 11
DE 2
FL 9
GA 14 (much smaller state than FL, above, yet 5 more stores. Go figure.)
ID 3
IL 15 (Birthplace of Sears will still have some small Sears.)
IN 7
IA 9
KS 11
KY 5
LA 5
ME 2
MD 1
MA 1
MI 9
MN 7
MS 11
MO 10
MT 5 (also, oddly, this state is home to the most weirdly and randomly located Kmart possible, LOL)
NE 5
NV 5 (gotta take a break from Gambling occasionally.)
NJ 1
NM 5
NY 4 (incidentally, all are far upstate)
NC 9
OH 6
OK 8
OR 7
PA 5 (including 1 in Philly! This seems to Buck the trend of these mostly being in more rural areas.)
SC 6
SD 1
TN 2
TX 27 (well everything is bigger in TX, and all that)
UT 1
VT 3 (impressive for 1 of the tiniest states)
VA 1
WA 13 (including Tukwila, oddly, which has a regular Sears. Someone explain that to me).
WV 2
WI 15
WY 3 (smallest state in the union, decently represented)
Now, I could of course have miscounted or miscalculated, but the site is there for anyone to look at. 1 Day, I might have to make a map of all the locations. But my (admittedly poor) math, it appears we have 326 total. This link seems to be accurate, because it reflects the new store opening in Spearfish SD, while it has removed the recently closed one in Williston ND. So there appear to be (as far as small format Sears), 334 total. That would be 326 Hometowns, plus 8 other small format Sears, that OP referred to above. You're welcome.
