From Edgar filing at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1310067/000119312518082457/d549746dex991.htm
Stores open at end of fiscal year
Kmarts Sears Specialty
Feb 3, 2017 735 670 25
Feb 2, 2018 432 547 23
That's 41% of Kmarts and 18.4% of Sears FLSes. And I believe there are 50 more Kmarts by April, if I recall correctly.
That's a lot of really good people and revenue potential lost over the course of a single year.
Expect those numbers to keep dropping even further.
547 Sears stores left. That sounds about right. Why so amazed. Sears has been around forever. Before Eddie came no one ever closed the unprofitable stores, but there have been unprofitable stores since the 80s.
Where did you get 432? It’s kmart, Sears, Specialty. If you are reading across that means 432 Kmart, 547 sears, 23 Specialty.
So their is 432 Sears left in the whole nation? If so thats just insane that shrunk has Sears become.
