TROY, MI-The Northern District of Illinois has issued a temporary restraining order against Penske Auto Centers, Inc., requiring the company to continue operating auto service centers at more than 550 Kmart stores across the US. However, both Penske and Kmart appear to have worked out a deal Tuesday toallow the closure of the stores. A formal plan will be submitted to the bankruptcy court Thursday.
