Sears stores in Wisconsin avoid closing list

The Sears store at Valley View Mall in La Crosse is safe — at least for now

So is every other Sears and KMart store still operating in Wisconsin.

The shrinking retailer released its list of the latest stores getting closed to stem some financial bleeding. Fifteen Kmarts and 48 Sears stores will close around the nation by September of this year.

The company’s newest list of 63 store closings does include one Sears store in the Twin Cities area and both a Sears and a K-Mart in Duluth, Minn. Some stores in Iowa are closing, as well.

Sears lost more than $400 million in the first three months of this year.

The La Crosse KMart store on State Road shut down last September.
