Sears closes 142 stores in bankruptcy and liquidation sale



[ad_1]

Sears Holdings Corp. will try to turn around the situation of his bankrupt company with even fewer stores by the end of the year. The former dominant retail force will shut down 142 unprofitable or underperforming Sears and Kmart stores in the coming months, with liquidation sales to these locations expected "in time for holiday shopping," the company said. Sears in a statement announcing his bankruptcy filing.

The closures add to the 46 previously announced closures of 46 losing money stores, which are expected to be completed by next month, the retailer said. The latest list of closures includes 79 Sears stores and 63 Kmart stores (Click here to see which stores are about to close, or see below for a complete listing.)

As Sears Holdings explained in a document filed Monday in bankruptcy court: "On the first closed stores, 98 were not profitable during FY 2017 and 44 generated profits stagnant or marginal during fiscal 2017 or are declining in 2018 due to local market and competitiveness factors. "

The company did not immediately return requests for additional information, including the number of employees impacted. Fewer than 90,000 people were still working for Sears Holdings earlier this year, up from 350,000 in the last few decades.

In terms of consumers, Sears has relaxed its efforts to stay in business: "We announced the closing of sales in several stores by the end of the year, in time for holiday shopping," said the company. society. his website. "Other stores will make sales and close their doors by November 2018."

The closures would leave about 700 Sears and Kmart stores in operation. The number of stores reached a peak of 4,000 in 2012, including its Sears Canada division, which was then split.

The company recorded losses of $ 6.26 billion, excluding special events, since its last annual profit in 2010, according to Ken Perkins, who heads the firm Retail Metrics LLC. There have been 11 years of yearly annual decreases in income. During its last fiscal year, the group generated revenues of $ 16.7 billion, down from more than $ 50 billion in 2008.

Edward Lampert, a hedge fund investor, is a chairman of Sears' board of directors, but is stepping down as chief executive, whose duties would be shared by three executives, Sears said.

The bankruptcy filing took place shortly before Sears had to repay $ 134 million in loans on Monday. It's been a while for Sears, but the strategy of cutting costs by closing stores – the company has closed more than 725 Sears and Kmart stores in the past two years alone – has not worked so far.

"The problem with Sears is that it's a poor retailer," Neil Saunders, Managing Director of GlobalData Retail, said in a recent research note. "It has failed at all levels of retail, ranging from assortment to service through merchandise and basic standards in store."

Analysts predicted that the company would face a "liquidity event" for several years, due to the deterioration of its financial situation. In 2016, buyers told a survey firm that they preferred to shop at Goodwill at Sears.
