How do you find out if your store is affected? Look up the phone number for the mall admin office or plaza admin and ask if the store is set to close. They'll know for sure because they have a lease with the store and if it's closing will know for sure when and why.
You can also find the number for the head office for K-MART or SEARS in the phone book or by visiting one of the stores and asking for it and you can ask them if X,Y,Z store will be affected.
Also, watch your local news. If this announcement of store closures is really new than you can bet that further information will be on the news and in your local paper as it pertains to your area and store.
You can also look in the phone book for the local TV station or newspaper and ask to be put through to the newsroom or an editor. Tell them you saw the story on K-Mart and Sears that they did and ask if they have any new info or know where the list of local stores affected can be found or if they have that info themselves yet. You should find an answer this way. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

As for Sears, I heard they aren't sure what ones are closing at this time.
As for gift cards, As long as they are open I'm sure it would be just fine. If the store is out of business then your Sears credit card would be no good. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
