Hunt Valley Sears Closing: Report

COCKEYSVILLE, MD — As Sears continues efforts to cut costs and streamline its brick-and-mortar presence, the company has reportedly slated 20 more stores for closing. One of those locations is in Baltimore County.

Cockeyville's store at 126 Shawan Road is one of two Maryland locations on the latest list of impending closures. The other is at 17318 Valley Mall Road in Hagerstown.

The retailer in the Hunt Valley Town Centre will start its liquidation sale June 30 before the location shutters in mid-September, WBAL Radio reported.

The new list of locations closing comes on top of the 245 stores announced earlier in the year, according to Business Insider.

Sears isn’t the only major retailer across the country scaling back on storefronts. JCPenney, Rue 21, HHGregg, The Limited and Payless Shoe Source announced they were closing stores in Maryland earlier this year.
