Local Kmart and Sears Not Among 46 Stores Slated for Closure

The company that owns both Sears and Kmart says the two locations in the Jamestown area will not be among the 46 stores slated to close later this year.

Sears Holdings released a list of the stores that are to be shuddered and it includes 13 Kmart stores and 33 Sears stores. However, neither the Kmart in West Ellicott nor the Sears store in the Chautauqua Mall in Lakewood are on the list.

The company also said it is continuing to evaluate other stores and more closings could take place.
