Lampert wanted these properties from the start, especially Kmart's. This is why so many Kmart locations have been sold, or the leases terminated. He only wanted company owned stores, so they could sell them. He had no intention of ever saving the company. Just look how he treated them. Their peak had 4,010 stores, and they're struggling now to find someone to take just 425? Notice how that's a nearly 90% DROP? Only 24 more closures, and it'll officially be just 10% that of its peak! Come on, there is no saving Sears and Kmart, their time has come all Fast Eddie did was make it the world's slowest liquidation.
