Sears filed chapter 11. Now what? 142 stores closing. How long until they announce more stores if they announce more stores? Is chapter 7 still an option? Did Sears pay the banks what was owed? I have already heard members at the store declining... — read more
Don't be hypocrites
I hope if you're hard on Eddie that you also are on every other retail CEO of every other retailer that went bust. Fact is that every retailer eventually goes out and it's a cyclical business where tastes change fast. As far as I see Eddie took a... — read more
Eddie stepping down is NOT a good thing for you
I don’t think there is another person on the planet as stubborn as Eddie is. The fact that even he has given up is actually a major blow to your company. Let’s be real here....is there any person you can think of that would keep a company who loses... — read more

Here is the list of 142 new store closings, according to the court filing. (In parentheses: other entities listed as lease assignee or co-tenants): Kmart Arkansas 2821 East Main St Russellville, AR 72801-9801 California 215 W Hanford/Armona Rd... — read more
Is your store on the list of closings?
Post if you’re done
A lot of leases from closed stores thrown out
Could be good for company moving forward. You cannot debt that this company had a lot of baggage that bankruptcy is going to clear out. Maybe without costs of closed store leases etc the Ebita positive stores will be able to move forward.
How soon will liquidation's occur?
Will the liquidation's start in a few days or straight away?
When The King of Bankruptcy Calls You Out....
Trumps says he sad....and that Sears has been mismanaged for a very long time. If ANYONE knows about bankruptcy and mismanagement, it's THAT clown. SO MUCH WINNING!

Although alot of info on here was and is accuarate, due to today's filing, take info with a grain of salt. We will all find out for sure soon who is closing..
Remaining stores will they lose any positions
Remaining stores will they lose any positions? Have you heard if any of the remaining stores will lose any positions throughout the store?

Can anything be done?
Is this it? Is Chapter 7 next? Is there ANYTHING that can be done so we don't end up like Toys R Us?
When are they going to release the list of 142 stores? Did anybody hear anything yet?
I hate going through this. This is so nerve wracking. Why didn't they release this list when they filed bankruptcy in the middle of the night? Why do we have to wait until probably 6 PM to find out?

Apply at Whole Foods
People who are afraid their store is about to close (even those who are not) should apply for a new job at Whole Foods if there is one anywhere close. They were bought by Amazon and were a part of that whole $15 minimal pay change. That would be an... — read more
Why is Eddie stepping down a good thing?
He has so much of his own money tied into Sears, doesn't he have the best incentive to find a way to make things work? I see everybody celebrating that he is no longer the CEO, but I honestly can't figure out what's there to celebrate. Especially... — read more
10/15/2018 New All-Time Low Stock Price
.27 per share pre-market at 7:25am. No big surprise considering the bankruptcy filing. It will be interesting to see what happens when the live market opens later this morning.
Starting to panic
Does Chapter 11 mean we don't get severances from now on when we are laid off?
Do managers know already?
Do you think managers have already been told if their store is closing? or are they in the dark like the rest of us? The number of closing stores is very specific, so I'm positive the list has already been made. The only question is when it will be... — read more
Eddie is out as CEO
But, as many of us know, he’s always called the shots, even before his self coronation as king. Who will get the honors now? Don’t think they will promote from within but then I’d think anyone from the outside would have to be dragged kick and... — read more
