K-Mart at Route 83 and St. Charles Road to close this fall On Thursday, Aug. 24, Sears Holdings announced the closure of 28 retail locations, including the KMart located at 265 So. Route 83 in Elmhurst. According to a release is-
sued by the City of Elmhurst, Thursday’s announcement brings the tally to more than 350 closures of Sears and K-Mart locations as the retailer seeks stability, transforming their
business model to better match the needs and preferences of consumers. Though a specific date for the closure is not known at this time, it is anticipated that the Elmhurst K-
Mart will close by mid-November, the City indicated. A statement on the Sears Holdings’ website indicated that “eligible associates impacted by these closures will receive sever-
ance and will have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area K-Mart or Sears stores.” Liquidation sales will begin as early as Aug. 31 at the closing stores.
