The store closures are part of a series of actions that K-Mart is taking to reduce on-going expenses. The Jamestown K-Mart is the only North Dakota store closing, with a liquidation sale starting March 3. Howard Riefs’ statement: “The Kmart store in Jamestown will close to the public on May 19, 2013. Until then, the store will remain open for customers. The store will begin its liquidation sale on March 3. As a part of the ordinary course of business we close stores for a variety of reasons.
