UPDATE: Partial list of Sears, Kmart store closings does not include Southwest Virginia locations
Sears and Kmart stores in Southwest Virginia are not on a partial list of store closings that Sears Holding Corp. recently released.
The list names 79 of the 100 to 120 stores the company said it would close. Three of the 79 stores are in Virginia: a Sears in Norfolk, and Kmart stores in Midlothian and Richmond.
It’s unclear when the complete list will be posted.
On Wednesday many blog readers commented on this post that the area’s Kmart stores feel outdated and a few complained that it never seems like the stores have enough registers open. Others said they still shop there for the deals. (We also reminisced about Hill’s).

The Danville,Virginia KMart is closing as well. However, they are claiming that it is due to the fact that they are not going to renew the lease that is coming up. Still 64 people at the KMart in Danville, Virginia will lose their jobs. I think this is news worthy.
@Henry Jones: Thanks for that info. I hadn’t heard about the Danville Kmart.
