Ever notice your go-to shops closing up lately? You’re not alone—over 8,000 stores in the U.S. shut down this year, from fancy department stores to your local coffee spot. It’s not just about online shopping; a lot of these closures are because stores built too many locations and can’t keep up. The upside? Value chains like Dollar General are popping up everywhere, so bargain hunters still have options. Maybe it’s time to mix up your shopping routine! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
