Sears / Kmart stores: about 45 of them will soon close in a new round of closing in the US and Puerto Rico. Not sure yet how many where, but your local store may close.
This was in the news, not rumor. Sears owns Kmart and they are close to bankrupt, closing stores gives them some cash to use to continue operation in stores that have the best sales numbers.
I can see some of them closing in the island, specially if they are close to a Walmart store. Some are in small towns like Yauco that have more sales due to people not wanting to drive to big cities.
Thats sad to hear Rey. The economy is bad all around the world.
I have a super walmart around home. Everyone knows Walmart always have better prices. "You have to be competitive" We don't shop there very often but when we do is for baby stuff. Yeah adlin20, probably the ones in the smaller town or with less revenue will close down.
