business news in context, analysis with attitude

The Detroit News reports that Kmart plans to close three stores in the metro Detroit area. The company refused to say exactly why the stores were being closed, but factors are said to include poor performance to real estate issues.

Liquidation sales are scheduled to begin at the end of the month, with closings scheduled for November 15 – which means the three units will not be open for the end-of-year holiday shopping season.
