Popular Department Store Planning to Close 55 More Locations

A major department store with 38 stores in New York State has announced plans to close even more locations.

The last few years have been "rough" for a lot of businesses leading to many of them having to make the drastic decision to close locations. Debt, inflation, staffing issues, online shopping, and theft are just some of the reasons behind stores like Big Lots, Best Buy, Red Lobster, and Rite Aid closing locations across the country.
