News of KMart's decline began more than a year ago, when Sears confirmed in late 2011 that it was anticipating the closure of more than 100 Sears and KMart locations across the country due to stagnant sales numbers during the holiday shopping season.
KMart currently has two locations in Greenville and one in Easley, Seneca, Anderson and Mauldin.
