At least 63 Sears and Kmart stores will be closing in the near future, it was announced on Thursday. This comes after the company closed nearly 400 stores over the past year, CNN Money reports

According to a press release from the chains’ parent company, Sears Holdings, 63 non-profitable stores will close, and store closing sales will begin in the near future. These stores are part of 100 locations the company has identified as "low performers." Originally, the company announced 72 stores would close, but changed that number hours later as certain stores "are being evaluated further."

These are just the latest in a list of upcoming locations set to close, Money magazine reports. Two weeks ago, they announced they’d be closing 40 stores in 24 states, and before that, they said 166 stores would be closing in 2018. So at this point, 266 stores could be set to close this year.

The closings come as the company deals with sluggish sales. Overall revenue fell 31% in the last three months, though most of that was because of closed stores, but even still, sales slumped by 12% in the stores that stayed open.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Sears is considering selling off its Kenmore appliance brand, as well as other units of its business. Last year, it sold the Craftsman brand to Stanley Black & Decker.

Eligible employees affected by store closings will receive severance and have the chance to apply for open jobs at other Kmart or Sears stores in the area. Liquidation sales will begin as early as June 14. Here's the full list of Sears and Kmart stores that will be closing.
