Sears closing its Ithaca store

Sears closing its Ithaca store

http://www.ithacajournal.com/story/money/2014/09/25/sears-closing-ithaca/16233707/

 

It seems to me that in the past shld has closed kmart stores in the 1st qtr (after Christmas season) as opposed to the 4th qtr.(closed before Christmas).

 

They indeed may be trying to take advantage of the busier shopping season before Christmas to liquidate more quickly.

 

It is interesting that some of these stores have leases expiring at later dates and are still closing before the lease ends.

 

 

anyway thanks to all for keeping up with store closures here in this thread.

I think when you liquidate before the christmas season you are doing so b/c you do not want to or cannot stock up on inventory for the christmas season for the stores in question.

 

Sears in the Bronx, NY is closing. (announced a while ago haven't seen it posted).

Very true. Not stocking for a holiday season seems likely.

[merkhet]

I don't think they were stocking for the holiday season even when they kept closing stores open until after the holidays.
