     This really might soon be the end of Kmart, these closures planned sound like Sears wants it done quick, because going off from the past, liquidation sales that begin in September tend to end in December (a week before Christmas), but these sales want to be suspended by mid-November, at least before Black Friday. The big list might come out after Christmas, could it be the end?
