Summary
147 jobs will be eliminated when Transform Warehouse Operations shuts Kmart’s Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, warehouse on Sept. 16, according to a notice filed with the state labor department.
The Kresge Road site spans more than 1.9 million square feet on 96.2 acres and is the largest of the company’s four warehouses, making the closure a major cut to Kmart’s remaining logistics network.
Transform Warehouse Operations is owned by Transformco, which holds the remaining assets of Kmart and Sears; neither company immediately responded to requests for comment.
Kmart’s physical footprint has already shrunk to a single continental U.S. store near Miami, underscoring how far the once-national retailer has contracted since its first bankruptcy 24 years ago.
