Why All the Closures?

The climate of shopping in brick-and-mortar stores has changed in recent years. More people are shopping online while looking for the best deals possible. Other reasons include people not having the disposable income they once did. Trying to survive and taking care of essential items like food, heat, housing/rent, diapers etc. are the primary concerns many people are focused on. It doesn't help that inflation on many items continues to march on. In some cases, people have to choose between essentials, which adds more stress due to their financial situation.
