Ever notice your favorite stores vanishing? 2025 was brutal for brick-and-mortar shops—Party City, Forever 21, and Joann Fabrics all closed up for good, while Macy’s, Walgreens, and CVS are shrinking fast. Blame it on online shopping: it’s just easier (and often cheaper) to buy from your couch. The upshot? More empty storefronts and fewer places to browse in person. If you love in-store shopping, now’s the time to support your local spots! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
