Another Virginia Sears To Close

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — Sears announced that it is closing 80 more stores. Of the store closings made public on Friday, one is in Virginia.

The stores will host liquidation sales starting in two weeks, according to Sears, and will close for good in late March 2019.

The Charlottesville Sears is the only one in Virginia that will shutter in the latest round of closures. It is located at Fashion Square, 1531 Rio Road East, Charlottesville.

This is the third Virginia Sears store the company has reported in the past three months that it plans to shutter.

Sears Holdings, which owns both Sears and Kmart, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October. At the time, it announced it would close 142 unprofitable locations, including the Fairfax store in Virginia.

The Richmond Sears will shutter in February 2019, the company announced in November as part of a subsequent set of 40 store closings nationwide.

As of April 2019, there will be 11 remaining Sears stores — not including appliance outlets, HomeTown stores or auto centers — left in Virginia:
