Liquidation sales start today.

Earlier this year, the Midtown Sears closed the iconic location at 4201 Main Street.
Sears Holdings also says other stores may close. The company has closed hundreds of stores as they have suffered from a decline in mall traffic.
"We continue to evaluate our network of stores, which is a critical component to our integrated retail transformation, and will make further adjustments as needed," said a company spokesperson.
