Big changes are hitting Delaware’s shopping scene in 2026 as five major retail chains pull out of key locations. Rite Aid’s exit from beach towns is turning pharmacy runs into a headache for retirees, while Big Lots leaving Milford means fewer options for affordable basics. Family Dollar is trimming its crowded Route 13 presence, and Dover Mall is losing familiar “inline” stores as national brands move out. Even Advance Auto Parts is cutting back in New Castle County. These closures aren’t just about empty storefronts—they’re reshaping where and how we shop. How will this impact your routine? #Business #LocalBusiness #Delaware
