Sears or JCP who will die first?

How many lives does this cat have? Let it die a merciful death already.

I know, I know. "But what about those 50,000 people!". They need to be looking already, the writing has been on the wall a looooong time.

Several talking business heads give JC Penneys a year unless something drastic happens.

The "other" Sears may not make it once the original Sears finally goes under.

Why does this guy like losing money? Is this a money laundry operation or is he just stubborn?

When it isn't your money, it isn't your problem. The real question is what is wrong with the idiots who keep shoveling money at him.

Sears(and KMart) closing more stores. No Oklahoma stores affected.

Are there any stores left?

It looks like there is somehow still a KMart out in Clinton lol

It is practically a captive market for Clinton and a couple towns north and south of it.

Given how there is increasingly only two clusters, one in California and on in the north east, it seems they will likely abandon the few left in the plains, rockies & south soon. Probably replaced by a super center eventually.

The hometown store at Quail Springs store closed. They reabsorbed them back into the company and immediately started closing those also.

Wow, I really would have thought that Clinton would have a Wal-Mart. It seems weird that they don't, as their population is barely smaller than Weatherford or Elk City.
