CALEDONIA — After surviving a few close calls, the Kmart in Caledonia, 5141 Douglas Ave., is scheduled to close in mid-December.

Larry Costello, Public Relations Director at Transformco, the company that owns Kmart and Sears, confirmed on Friday that the store is scheduled to close in mid-December and plans to hold a liquidation sale in mid-September. Costello declined to comment on why the Caledonia store was chosen.

Sears Holdings put out a list on Aug. 6 of stores closing which did not include the Caledonia store but a sign outside the doors stated that location would not accept new layaway contracts.
