Retail Holiday Recoil: The Limited Shuts Down, Limited to Online Sales; Sears Closes Stores, Sells Craftsman; Macy's Closes 68 Stores; Amazon Is Big • SUN JAN 08, 2017 0:32 AM CT








The Limited Saturday January 7 2017:  "We're sad to say that all The Limited stores nationwide have officially closed their doors. But this isn't goodbye. The styles you love are still available online - We’re just a quick click away 24 hours a day." The website will still be up and running and will continue to ship nationwide. 250 stores closed and about 4,000 jobs lost. Sears is selling Craftsman to Stanley Black & Decker and closing 150 unprofitable Sears and Kmart stores. The business maneuvers allow Sears to gather more than $1 billion in liquidity, and another $1 billion from sold real estate.
