A Pittsburgh-based logistics company that ran a West Side operation for Sears has lost that contract, it announced this week.

The Genco Sears facility at 5330 Crosswind Drive will be run by Sears effective Sept. 1, and the 122 people who work there at that point will become Sears employees, a Genco Sears office manager said.

The loss of the contract prompted a filing with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services regarding the change in employment status of the workers.
