Sears, which Transformco owns, has seen a dramatic drop in sales since declaring bankruptcy in 2018 and closing the majority of its stores over the previous two years. According to CNN, the troubled retailer is in the midst of a “slow-motion liquidation,” and will resume closing stores as soon as possible next year, as well as listing some locations through commercial real estate agents.
