Kmart has announced its closing another 64 stores in the United States.

The closings come as the retailer continues to struggle with declining sales.

The stores will begin liquidation sales on September 22 and will close down by mid-December, according to a company source.

In Ohio, the two closest stores closing to the Valley are in Mentor and Canton.

Back in April, the Kmart store on Route 224 in Boardman closed.  That store employed about 80 people.
