Call me slow, but why would Comp USA be sold, then closed? Market share?

I think they sold it to a “Jack and the Beanstalk” kind of guy.

They will need a team in place to liquidate as many assets as possible before pulling the plug. Mostly real estate holdings I would presume.

Asset value exceeds purchase price and future profits.

It takes a certain skill set (and mind set) to profitably liquidate a company.

The real estate occupied by the stores is probably the asset of interest. I expect a similar demise for Sears in the future.
