The Kmart of West Long Branch will close in April, its store manager told NJ Advance Media.

The store is located at 108 Monmouth Rd. A tentative closing date is April 12, according to the manager, who also said liquidation sales are not currently ongoing.

Kmart’s footprint has long been dwindling in New Jersey and elsewhere. Its website lists 10 locations in the Garden State, but that information is outdated. Stores in Wayne, Wall, Somers Point and Toms River are still listed, yet all have shuttered. Additionally, the Kmart in West Orange is expected to close this month.

The four Kmart stores that will remain after the West Long Branch location closes are in Avenel, Belleville, Kearny and Westwood.

Transformco, which acquired Sears Holdings Corporation, announced last year 45 Kmart stores would close. Sears, which operates Kmart, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2018.

A number of chain stores have been hit by the retail apocalypse in recent years and that has continued into 2020. Macy’s recently announced 125 stores will close over the next three years, Express will close about 100 locations and Pier 1 Imports is shuttering 450.
