The company will shut down 108 Kmart stores and 42 Sears stores by April, according to an internal document obtained by Business Insider. ] Seems like Macy's is closing stores too.

The Kmart experience in my region has always sucked. They're just depressing places to be, and they smells funny. Sears, though, has always be a pleasant, middle of the road, nothing flashy place to buy Levi's, shop-vacs, socks and underwear, etc. And the catalog they sent every year when I was a kid was the size of a freaking phonebook. Um, you know, back when there were still phonebooks. I'd spend hours pouring through that thing, fantasizing about .22 rifles, ten-speed bicycles, model rockets and tools to build a secret tunnel under the playhouse in the back yard.

It seems like Target is crowding Sears out of the middle-class market on the East coast.
