Another Sears Closing In NJ: Important Dates

Another Sears store in New Jersey is closing for good soon. The store joins a long line of department stores that have shut down in the state over the past year.

The Sears store at Hamilton Mall, at 4409 Black Horse Pike in Mays Landing, is slated to close, joining 46 additional unprofitable stores nationwide that will be shuttered in November.

The gasping retail giant is trying to “streamline” operations, improve its capital position and focus on the most successful stores, according to Sears Holdings. Liquidation sales will begin as early as Aug. 30 at the stores.

Over the past year, the chain announced the closures of more than 160 Sears and Kmart locations. Sears reported a net loss of $424 million during the first quarter of 2018.

The latest impacted employees — the final number of which wasn’t immediately available — were informed of the imminent closures this week.

“We continue to evaluate our network of stores, which is a critical component to our integrated retail transformation, and will make further adjustments as needed,” the company said in a release. “We thank associates affected by these store closures for their many contributions to our company.”

Some workers will receive severance and be able to apply for open positions at nearby Kmartand Sears stores. Customers can use the store locator function on the Sears website to find those locations.
