A statement released by Sears Holdings said the closings come in an effort to "right size" their store footprint and to find a balance between a physical and digital presence. All 103 local Sears and Kmarts, including the Ocala and Bellview locations, will shutter by May.

The company also owns Kmart and announced it will close 64 of those stores. They'll be shuttered between early March and April. The Sears Auto Center there will shutter its doors in late January.
