It looks as though Wisconsin and North Carolina are escaping this without any closings, which is good. But this is something I’ve seen coming for a long time. Sears has not been performing well as a company; the troubles seemed to have started back in the Nineties and things have only gotten worse. I hate to say it, but I fear that if there’s another round of closings, Sears, like so many others before them, will sadly be going the same way as Toys R Us.
