It looks like Sears and K-Mart stores in Louisiana will be spared...for now.

Sears has released details on the closing of at least 79 stores. The company had announced earlier in the week that it would shutter 120 of its Sears and K-Mart stores.

An updated list of store closings will be provided once that list is finalized, according to the company.

Sears says the closings will affect anywhere from 40 to 80 employees at each store.
