California’s shopping scene is about to look very different. Major names like Macy’s, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Saks OFF 5TH, and Carter’s are all shutting down multiple locations across the state this February. Macy’s is closing its historic Grossmont Center store, while Rite Aid is reportedly leaving California entirely. Walgreens is pulling out of more Bay Area neighborhoods, deepening pharmacy shortages. Saks OFF 5TH and Carter’s are also trimming their store counts, especially in malls. These closures could mean longer drives for basics and fewer local jobs. How do you think this wave of closures will affect your community? #Business #LocalBusiness #California
