Kmart store in Cudahy in close

Last Milwaukee County location for retail chain

Cudahy’s Kmart store will close in February, marking the end to the last Kmart in Milwaukee County. It is among 40 stores to close across the country as part of the ongoing Sears Holdings bankruptcy.

The closure of the store will put its 75 employees out of work, according to a notice filed with the state Department of Workforce Development.

Liquidation sales at the Cudahy Kmart, located at 6077 S. Packard Ave., are expected to begin next week, the company said.

Six Kmart locations in the Milwaukee area have closed since 2012.
