6 More Pennsylvania Kmarts To Close: Report

Kmart has announced more Pennsylvania stores will be closing this year.

Kmart has doubled the number of Pennsylvania stores slated to close in 2017, according to a report by USA Today. In February, Sears Holdings, which owns Kmart, announced that it would be closing 150 stores, including six Kmart locations and three Sears in Pennsylvania.

But last week, the company announced 30 more stores would be closing, including six additional Kmart locations in Pennsylvania. Two of the locations are in suburban Philadelphia.

A closing date has not yet been announced. Patch has reached out to Sears Holdings for more information. Check back for updates.
