The ailing company said liquidation sales at the 46 unprofitable stores marked for closure will start Aug. 30, according to the company website. They'll close in November.
Only one of the 46 stores on the list is in Indiana: a Sears store at 4201 Coldwater Road in Fort Wayne.
The company said Thursday it informed its workers.
In January, Sears said it was closing 100 stores. It announced in May that it was closing another 100. Among those was the Sears store at Castleton Square, which is conducting a going-out-of-business that is almost completed.
The move comes as Sears is considering a bid from CEO Eddie Lampert's hedge fund ESL Investments to acquire its jewel Kenmore appliances from the company for $400 million.
As of May, the retailer had about 800 stores, down from about 1,000 at the end of last year and far below the 2012 peak of 4,000 stores.
