How many stores have closed recently in the shopping area nearest you?

It’s crazy how much less merchandise is in the stores that ARE open. Nordstrom had no black socks!

i count 4 including Circuit City

We got a NEW Earth Fare! Awesome! (The space had been vacated by another grocery chain about 3 years ago). I’ll pay extra for good Greek yogurt just to keep them in the neighborhood.

We’ve had stores closing in our area for a long time. You walk through the mall & there’s a lot of empty places. Then in yesterday’s paper, they say they’re trying to get new retail to come in to town. I want to say “what?!” We can’t keep what we had. Why drag some other chain in just to have it fail?

Goody’s is closing here.

Goodys, Circuit City, Bear Rock Cafe, Pac-Sun, and Steve and Barrys.

Too many to count. In malls, in small strips, everywhere.

The AT&T Wireless outlet near me had to move from its big retail front to a smaller one down the road. Where I live is like a small town, so the stores that are there now have been there forever.

We actually got a new business in the neighborhood recently that’s has to be making money hand over fist, a Five Guys burger joint.

Cicuit City and Linens and Things, both in the same plaza closed in the past couple of weeks.
