The department store operator, which has racked up 24 straight quarters of sales declines, said 64 Kmart stores and 39 Sears stores would be closed between early March and early April this year.

On the heels of 330 closures in 2017, Sears had previously announced that it would close 63 stores after the holiday season in an effort to return to profitability.

Liquidation sales will begin as early as Jan. 12 at the closing stores, Sears said.
