It amazes me how many stores are still standing. How many of them will still be here by the end of the year; I don't know.
Ever since Amazon and other websites have gone into shopping online, many businesses and even malls are becoming ghost towns.
Stores like, Jo Ann Fabric, JCPenney, Macy's and even Big Lots had to go into filing chapter 11 which signs that it is bankrupt. So many stores try to stay in business even during the Pandemic in 2020.
It seemed they have tried their hardest even when people are starting to go to Amazon or any other site to purchase what they need.
Some of these stores were a part of my childhood. Party City's gone, Big Lots! is closing its doors, and a few dollar stores from Dollar tree to Family Dollar is starting to say goodbye as well to a few stores. The one store closure that hurt the most.... was Toys R Us. My childhood when my parents would shop for toys for us.
I used to shop a lot at Bed, Bath and Beyond for stuff that seemed awesome or stuff that I've seen on TV. Some stores are still in business but closing other stores of their name. Which means they are struggling to stay in business.
A lot of retail stores and even stores in malls are struggling.
Clothing stores like Forever 21 or even Wet Seal and Kohls are gone. Kohls is near its end while the other two have ended their buisness.
I don't know why the economy is struggling and it got worse once 2020 and the pandemic hit. Amazon is one of the kings of Online shopping from food to toys to clothes and much more.
It sad that we have to rely on online stores, which I'm fine with, but with me being an early Millennial it seems the magic of malls and shopping with family and friends has lost its spark. Even Playgrounds are taking a hit with kids not swinging on swings and focusing on their cell phone. Believe me.... playgrounds will be next to go. Pray for us
