Ever noticed your go-to mall looking emptier lately? In 2025, over 8,000 stores—think Macy’s, Claire’s, and GameStop—closed up shop as online shopping took over. The big shakeup: old-school stores couldn’t keep up with Amazon and rising prices, so many called it quits. The upside? Discount chains like Dollar General and Aldi are popping up everywhere. Heads up: more closures are coming in 2026, so if you love a store, shop it while you can! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
