Sears store in Johnson County is closing, the last in Kansas City — and the region
The Sears store in Johnson County, the last in the Kansas City area, will soon close.
The location, at 6327 W. 119th St., is now covered with signs announcing its final sale. Sears Home & Life opened in 2019 as part of the company’s efforts to focus on appliances and home goods at a fraction of the size of its traditional store models.
The Overland Park location is also the only remaining Sears store in the state of Kansas. None are left in Missouri.
Sears, at one time a popular department store with hundreds of locations across the country, filed for bankruptcy in October 2018 amid dropping sales and mass closings.
The Overland Park store’s final closing date is unclear. Company officials were not immediately available for comment.
