Just curious about this and how far the stores are from each other.
If they open mini Sears in Kmart and mini Kmart in sears will that consolidate more stores leaving fewer and fewer?
Kinda like the game jinga
The more pegs you pull out eventually the whole thing topples over
"Just curious about this and how far the stores are from each other."
In Delaware, mine (closed in April) has another less than 10 miles north (supposedly owned and okay for now), and another about 50 miles south which is among the group to close in August.

"They are broke down in every state."
Now THAT is hilarious!
They are broke down in every state.
This will be much easier to do next year.
