Sears Canada announced Thursday it is seeking court protection from its creditors and plans to cut about 2,900 positions across Canada. The company also said it will be closing 59 locations as a result of its restructuring plan.
“There are expected to be liquidation sales at the stores that will be closing,” a Sears Canada spokesman told Global News.
However, Sears warranties on products like mattresses and appliances will remain valid, the company added.

The struggling retailer says it will close 20 full-line locations, plus 15 Sears Home stores, 10 Sears Outlet stores and 14 Sears Hometown locations.
The company said the specific timing of the store closures has yet to be established. All other Sears Canada locations and the online retail store will continue to operate, the company noted in a statement.
