Sears - Store closures now at 150

Sears announced a second wave of store closures on Wednesday, bringing the total number of closures scheduled for early 2017 to 150.

  4. projections are nothing more than a lie. just because they did not make their projections doesnt mean they were not profitable. i guess those living in their ivory tower making projections did not realize the economy is crap, wages are crap, and obama care has bled the middle class dry.
