"We will continue to assess opportunities to right-size our store footprint and inventory levels aligned to our ongoing transformation to an asset-light integrated retail model."Sears is under pressure from years of plunging sales, and investors have been supportive of the company's decision to close its unprofitable stores.Sears now has fewer than1,500 stores, down from 2,073 five years ago.If you work for Sears and your store is closing, reach out to retail@businessinsider.com.SEE ALSO:Here's what will happen to your Sears warranty if the company goes bankruptJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Here's what it's like to wear $900 high heels designed by a former SpaceX exec
