Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and announced it would be closing more than 100 stores before the end of the year. But the chain is ramping up for the holiday shopping season and reminding customers that it’s still open for business.
Business Insider reports that this year, Kmart stores will be open from 6 a.m. to midnight on Thanksgiving, before reopening at 6 a.m. on Black Friday. Most Sears stores will open at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving and close at midnight, then reopen at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
