Sears to close in Rapid City
Sears at Rapid City’s Rushmore Mall will close this spring.
The closure represents the first loss of a major department store anchor for the Rapid City mall and is part of a 39-store closure announced by Sears Holdings.
The parent company of Kmart also is closing 64 of those stores.
Sears at The Empire Mall isn’t on the list.
“Sears Holdings continues its strategic assessment of the productivity of our Kmart and Sears store base and will continue to right size our store footprint in number and size,” the company said in a statement. “In the process, as previously announced, we will continue to close some unprofitable stores as we transform our business model so that our physical store footprint and our digital capabilities match the needs and preferences of our members.”
The store closures will occur between early March and early April.
