          About a week of independent news articles stating Kmart stores closing, and Sears planning on closing a large number of undisclosed locations has been finalized. Today Sears released a list of 64 Kmart stores that will closed in late December.

          According to Business Insider, employee's were informed this past Friday that there store is included on the list. The employee's brought the truth out to major journalists and a compiled list of 64 stores will begin liquidation September 22.

          Out of this list, several stores in Michigan and Illinois will effect my shopping habits. Those stores include Springfield, New Lenox, Chicago, Joliet, Tinley Park, and Macomb, Illinois. Several stores in Michigan and Merrillville, and Lafayette, Indiana.
