Sears Canada is closing its stores in 麻豆精选.
According to vice-president of Sears,Vincent Power, 鈥渁n offer was accepted by the financial advisors, monitor and special committee from the Orchard Park shopping centre to end our lease early on both the full-line store and the Sears Home store.鈥�
The Canadian retailer has entered into a number of lease surrender agreements and a lease amending agreement that will result in the closure of the store in Orchard Park Mall, as well as leased locations in Nanaimo and Burnaby, according to a statement released Friday.
There are 24 associates who work in the Sears Home store and 69 who work in the full-line store, most of which are part-time, said Power.
鈥淲e are continuing to operate these two stores until they enter liquidation mode, the timing of which has not yet been decided,鈥� he said.
Sears Canada is closing more than half of its stores across the country, which includes stores in Grand Forks, Kamloops, Sechelt, Creston and Abbotsford in B.C.
One Calgary customer said she was sad to see Sears go in Calgary, as she searched the sales rack in the 麻豆精选 store.
鈥淭he interest鈥� it鈥檚 not really there. You can鈥檛 find as many people in the store,鈥� said Helen Woessney, adding in Calgary the pay-for-parking lot may have had an affect on the store.
She used to buy all her clothes in Sears.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been a really good store for me,鈥� she said.
