A name synonymous with appliances and tools is getting harder and harder to find in Michigan. Four Sears Hometown stores are closing their doors for good.
If you’re a regular shopper at Kmart or Sears, you may soon have fewer places to spend your money — parent company Sears Holdings has said that in light of decreased holiday sales, it’ll close at least 100 stores in the coming months.
The Michigan Economic Development Corp. as well as Wayne and Oakland Counties are trying to lure Sears into relocating its Headquarters from the suburbs of Chicago to the Detroit area. The move could mean about 5,000 jobs for Michigan residents.
