In the last week, over a thousand stores from various companies and brands announced they would be closing and restructuring there business plans. In the retail world, there are ups & downs, weaker companies have to die so stronger companies can get stronger, its just nature, but this is getting ridiculous. The brick-and- mortar scene looks to be reaching an end for most companies, as online sales are a more viable option, and that worked for many others in the past, like Service Merchandise, Montgomery Ward, and Linens N' Things, but all have ended that as well.
Within the last week, these are the companies that are either liquidating entirely, or closing individual locations; (ALL pictures are from Google):
