Burlington Center Mall Sears To Close

The Sears store at Burlington Center Mall will be closing this summer, the company has announced.

After announcing the closing of more than 100 stores earlier this year, the struggling retailer said Thursday it will close another 72 of its Sears and Kmart locations. Four of those are in New Jersey, including the Burlington Center Mall location at 2501 Mt Holly Rd. in Burlington.

Liquidation sales will start as soon as mid-June, the company said.

In an announcement Thursday morning, the company said the stores were not profitable.

"As part of our ongoing efforts to streamline the Company's operations and focus on our Best Stores, we have identified approximately 100 non-profitable stores, 72 of which will begin store closing sales in the near future," the Hoffman Estates-based company said in a statement. "We continue to evaluate our network of stores, which are a critical component in our transformation, and will make further adjustments as needed and as warranted."

These are the New Jersey locations set to close:

Sears

• Lawrenceville, Quakerbridge Mall
• Ocean, 2341 Rt 66
• Burlington, 2501 Mt Holly Road

Kmart

• Passaic/Clifton, 24 34 Barbour Avenue
