Sears Holdings Corp. announced late Thursday that it will close the Kmart store at 13200 S. Cicero Ave. in Crestwood by May 9.
The closing is one of 13 the Hoffman Estates-based retailer is closing in Illinois, Ohio, Washington, Colorado, Indiana, Georgia, Florida and Minnesota. The other Illinois store slated for closing is in Woodstock.
The Crestwood store has about 70 employees.
Sears has been closing underperforming stores since acquiring Kmart in 2005. The retailer closed a Kmart store in Lockport about the same time last year.
