On Oct. 15, Sears Holdings Corp. filed for Chapter 11 protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. As part of its bankruptcy declaration, Sears Holding Corp. released a list of its 505 most profitable stores to be auctioned off or sold, saying it would close 142 “unprofitable” stores by the end of the year, adding to the closure previously announced of 46 unprofitable locations.

Sears’ Kailua-Kona location, is a Sears Appliance Showroom (a part of Sears Hometown and Outlet) and is still open.
