(KAIR)--Local communities, in both Kansas and Missouri, are losing two well known, long lived names in retail.

That comes as the Illinois-based Sears Holdings Corporation announces a second round of store closures nationwide.

According to the company, 150 stores, including both Sears and the company's other property, Kmart, will close sometime in 2017.

Locally, that includes the long standing Sears in Saint Joseph, Missouri, which serves as an anchor store for the city's East Hills Mall.

The store's manager tells KQ2-TV the closing is likely to happen in March.

Meanwhile, the long-standing, lone Leavenworth location of Kmart, is also set to close.

A date for the final day of operations for the South 4th Street store is not immediately known.

The latest round of closures, including 42 Sears stores and 108 Kmart stores, was announced Wednesday.
