Moline Kmart Will Close

More Sears and Kmart stores are going to close soon. Monday the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and released a list of 142 stores that'll hold liquidation sales beginning immediately, and then close.

And the list includes the Kmart store in Moline at Avenue of the Cities and 53rd Street. 

Other stores on the closing list include Kmarts in Quincy and Norridge, Illinois, plus Webster City, Cherokee, and Council Bluffs in Iowa.

A Sears store in Joliet is also going to close. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
