Thousands of store locations closed in 2019 and in 2020, and more closings are on the way as retailers are continuing to close brick and mortar stores this year. However, so far we have not seen as many large store closings in 2020 but the year has just begun and it’s still early.
Last year retailers like Payless ShoeSource, Gymboree, Dress barn, Walgreens/Rite Aid, Charlotte Russe, Family Dollar and Things Remembered led the way when it came to closings.
Below is a list of some of the retailers that are closing locations in 2020.
The closings of these national retailers will be felt at several midstate shopping centers. The “retail apocalypse” has been going on for several years and unfortunately it won’t stop in 2020 as more stores are expected to close.
