The Kmart brand is finished in Delaware County. Company officials announced the last two stores in Delco—off Baltimore Pike in Clifton Heights and MacDade Blvd. in Holmes, will close by the end of the year, writes Kevin Tustin for the Daily Times.

The two stores were holdouts as closures occurred around the country in recent years. Now they are joining a reported 100 stores across the country, closing their doors as well.

“After careful review, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to close the Kmart stores in Clifton Heights and Holmes, Pa.,” said Larry Costello, spokesman for Kmart’s parent corporation,Transform Holdco, LLC. “The liquidation sales are expected to begin in mid-September and the stores are planned to close by mid-December. We encourage customers to continue shopping on Kmart.com for all their product needs.”

There was no verification how many employees at the stores will lose their jobs.

Doylestown is another Philadelphia region store that is slated to close.

Kmart and Sears are subsidiaries of Transformco, which absorbed the store chains earlier this year. The Sears store at Granite Run is still open.
