Forty Sears stores, including a location in Bethesda, Maryland, will close their doors early next year, the retailer announced Thursday.
Sears, which started as a mail order catalog in the 1880s, has been on a slow march toward extinction as it lagged far behind its peers and incurred huge losses over the years.
Just three weeks ago, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced it would close 142 unprofitable stores.
The 40 store closures announced Thursday are in addtion to the previous list.
The new list of stores, which includes the Sears at 7103 Democracy Blvd. in Bethesda, will begin closing in February 2019. Liquidation sales are set to being late next week.
Accompanying Sears Auto stores will also be closed, CNBC reports.
