Credited from: CNN

  • Over 7,300 US retail stores closed in 2024, a 57% increase from the previous year, marking the highest annual closure rate since 2020.
  • Notable chains like Family Dollar, CVS, and Walgreens led the closures, attributing struggles to inflation and fierce competition.
  • Factors like price hikes, overexpansion, and online shopping trends have negatively impacted many retailers, particularly discount chains.
  • While some retailers struggled, opportunities exist as around 6,000 new store openings were announced in the same period, particularly among discount grocers.
  • Experts anticipate continued challenges, especially if tariffs on imports are enforced under the new president, impacting prices and supply chains.
