It has not been determined when the longtime Kmart on Gratiot will shut its doors.
The Chesterfield Township Kmart store did not make the cut. After disappointing holiday sales, Sears Holding announced Thursday the first list of Sears and Kmart stores set to close at an undetermined time. The longstanding Big Kmart on Gratiot in Chesterfield Township was among 79 stores on the list to close.
