The number of brick and mortar businesses going under seems to be snowballing as a recent bankruptcy filing reveals at least 2 Wisconsin clothing stores will be closing.
It's not exactly news that it's been a challenging year for brick and mortar retail so far in 2024, but another store is about to be closed in the next week and a half. Walmart is closing yet another store location and it will be happening soon.
It's obvious now that it's going to be a very long year for both Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores as suddenly there are even more Illinois locations that have landed on the closing soon list.
The report that 1,000 Family Dollar stores would be closing this year now appears to have local repercussions. We now know that at least 3 northeast Missouri Family Dollar stores will be a part of those mass closings based on a new report.
Well, this was unexpected by many. What began as a purchase of one big bargain retailer by another has resulted in 1,000 Family Dollar stores closing. The question now is if and/or how many Missouri and Illinois locations will be affected.
Malls used to be the go-to locations for not just shopping, but hanging out with friends. Those days are long gone as another mall in Illinois has announced a permanent closing date in March after 43 years in business.
Businesses come and go all the time, but the number of restaurants in particular in Illinois that have already closed this year are staggering. The current count that I can find confirms that at least 20 have put "We are Closed" signs on their doors in 2024 with no plans to reopen.
We're only one month into 2024, but already and alarming number of Missouri restaurants have decided they cannot remain in business and have closed their doors.
