Bargain hunters have to wait another day for deals at the Sears Home store in Windsor.
Sears Canada had announced that liquidation sales would start Friday across the country.
People were slowly trickling into the Home store on Legacy Park Drive, but found a sign on the door that inventory was being done Friday and the sales would start Saturday.
The liquidation sales will occur at 59 stores across Canada and continue until Oct. 12, with the majority to be overseen by a third-party liquidator.
This includes the Sears Home store in south Windsor, where 24 employees will ultimately lose their jobs, and the Chatham Sears outlet store.
Current employees in the stores pegged for liquidation will be asked to stay on the job until the sales are complete and the locations are shut down.
The beleaguered department store owner has been operating under court protection from creditors since June 22 when it announced its plan to shutter 59 stores and cut approximately 2,900 jobs.
Earlier this month, Ontario Superior Court Judge Glenn Hainey gave the company the green light to begin the process of putting itself up for sale. He also gave the retailer approval to pay $9.2 million in retention bonuses to executives and other key employees.
The payout was part of a compromise with retired employees that will see Sears Canada continue making some benefit and pension payments to retirees until Sept. 30.
Founded in 1952, Sears Canada says it hopes to exit court protection as soon as possible this year.
