The struggling Sears Holdings Co. released a list of 81 Sears and Kmart stores that will be closing this year after a disappointing holiday season.

Although Sears Holdings first announced plans to close stores on Dec. 27, 2011, the official list of 39 Kmart and 42 Sears stores to be closed was released this week. The 81 stores mark the first of a group of up to 120 that will be shut down. Most of the stores closing employed between 40 and 80 employees.

The company hopes to implement a new strategy to reduce costs and select inventory more efficiently. Sears Holdings expects the closures to generate $120 to $170 million of cash from sales of the inventory as well as additional cash generated from the sale or sublease of the related real estate. The company also hopes to reduce fixed costs by up to $200 million.

Sears Holdings has announced that they will release further information about liquidation dates by location and store format at a later time.

The full list of Sears and Kmart stores that will be closing this year is below.
