WASCO K-MART TO CLOSE

Four Central Valley K-Mart stores have been targeted for closure because they’re unprofitable. Among them is the Highway 46 K-Mart in Wasco. The stores will be closed by mid-July and the parent company – Sears Holding – did not indicate how many people will be losing their jobs. Other K-Marts in the Valley to close are on Hillman Street in Tulare, one in Dinuba and in Lodi.
