Big changes are hitting Kentucky’s shopping scene in 2026, and it’s more than just a few empty storefronts. Discount staples like Big Lots are pulling out of Lexington, Louisville, and western towns, leaving folks with fewer affordable options for furniture and basics. In Louisville’s neighborhoods, Family Dollar closures mean families have to travel farther for everyday essentials—especially tough for those without cars. Even pharmacies like Walgreens are quietly disappearing, making it harder for older residents to get prescriptions. With Jefferson Mall fighting to stay relevant, it feels like the whole retail landscape is shifting. How is this changing your shopping habits? #Business #LocalBusiness #Kentucky
