AUBURN, AL (WTVM) -

Employees at the Kmart in Auburn have confirmed to News Leader 9 they will begin liquidating merchandise the first of February.

Sears Holdings Corp. released a statement in December, saying the Auburn store was one of 120 stores nationwide that are slated to close this year.

Spokesperson Kimberly Freely says each store has between 40 and 80 employees, who will be encouraged to apply for openings at other Sears or Kmarts.

Freely says she does not have an official closing date for the Auburn Kmart.
