The latest announcement for the struggling retailer came as it reported a 11.5 percent decline in sales last quarter
Two more Kmart stores in New Jersey will be shuttered in another round of closure announcements by the struggling Sears Holdings company.
The Kmart stores on Route 38 in Moorestown and Route 46 in Parsippany will be closed by mid-November, the company announced Thursday. Those stores were among 28 targeted for closure nationally.
The company had already announced in June the closing of Kmart locations in the Manahawkin section of Stafford and in Mantua. The Sears store in Vineland was included in that round of closures that totaled 72 stores nationwide. Those stores were expected to be closed by September.
