Thread regarding Sears layoffs

You are not supposed to wish people a happy Memorial Day :-/

First of all, as mentioned, OP, your link goes nowhere.
Even if this post was real, I would take this with a grain of salt. It might have just been written by a disgruntled franchisee, who was then made to take it down by those in Charge. Perhaps he was upset and falsely wrote that all of them are closing. As of now, there isn't any evidence that ALL of them are closing. And again, you provided a link which is not valid. So again, take this with a grain of salt. Certainly a lot of them ARE closing, but not ALL of them (at least as of yet). Happy Memorial Day!

I notified my LP colleagues about the Sault ste. Marie store's facebook posting. Although we don't patrol these stores, the publicity was negative for the company and the situation was quickly dealt with.

To the poster below:

Mmm hmm.

Looks like the multidownvoter guy got butthurt about the reply to the "9PM closing daily" comment.

The Sault Ste. Marie MI store has also been removed from the Sears Hometown store locator, even while other closing stores in Michigan (and elsewhere) remain on it.

lol the hate this post got "I don’t think every sears is closing there are still 200 stores left" yet the store that posted this has removed the entire page because they are liars and ask to close and blamed it on corporate

this page is gone completely

We know these stores have little merchandise, so for many of them closing may not be a big event with Facebook postings and local news coverage. They will just lock the doors and move on. The company websites are still active, including "ownyourownsearsstore", so it seems the charade of having an ongoing business is still being played out.

They will all close eventually of course, since the name Sears is over the door. But it doesn't appear to be official for all of them just yet.

"Wait..Where is the "they close every night at 9PM" crew?

Different context in this case. Those replies are usually directed to the numerous posts asking over and over and over if there are going to be any store closures today or this week or this month.

Adding: Numerous other closing stores are still listed.

Gone from the store locator too.

That Hometown Store's page has disappeared entirely. Did it suddenly close earlier than announced?

Probably got laid off

Wait! Where is the "they close every night at 9 PM" crew?

100%, sorry, typo.

No offense, but we can't necessarily take one franchisees word for it that they are all closing. They might very well be but I'm not 10p% sure just yet.

I don’t think every sears is closing there are still 200 stores left

Anyone surprised? Good riddance. Like one of their earlier facebook posts indicated, potential customers were really disappointed with the store.....apparently they couldn't keep the place stocked with merchandise. I'm sure that was just one issue for all of the Hometown stores. I feel bad for all the owners who invested their time & money in such a waste.

It wouldn’t surprise me. Clearly, there isn’t a future for these stores.
