The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily has been closing stores, leaving only pharmacies, hospitals, supermarkets, and other essential businesses open. It has been many months under quarantine and people have had to adapt to this virus, so some states’ stores are slowly starting to reopen.
In 2017 in the US, 8,000 stores were closing, and the last year more than 9,300 stores had announced their closing. Now, in this year more than 15,000 could shut down permanently in 2020 because chains will have trouble recovering from the coronavirus closures.
Many retailers are still operating by their websites trying to encourage to shop online while they offer discounts and special deals, but it is unclear the future of these businesses because the pandemic is now putting even more stores in danger of closing.
We enlisted some of the many retailers that will be closing their stores in this 2020, due to COVID:
