FORT WAYNE Ind. (WOWO)- Two Kmart stores in Northeast Indiana kicked off their liquidation sales yesterday.

One is closing in Decatur, the other on Coliseum Blvd. in Fort Wayne. Some customers say it's a bad sign for the community, according to our partners in new at 21Alive.

Over 100 employees will either be paid severance or need to find a new job by the time the stores are officially closed in December.
