Big Lots, Rite Aid, Bed Bath and Beyond, Party City, Dollar General, Tuesday Morning, CVS, Amazon Go/Fresh, Nordstrom, Best Buy, The Children’s Place, Corner Bakery, Mattress Firm, Kirkland’s, Express.
Tuesday Morning and CVS both closed near me, BB and B is closing, but every single store on this list is a place I could totally never shop at and not miss them at all. Now do Target and Walmart. Their foot traffic is down significantly, I’ve read.
Many of these stores need to die. Dollar General, CVS (the Walmart of drug stores. What a dump), and Best Buy are the worst of the worst and dug their own holes. As much as I'd like to see Target and Walmart disappear, I doubt that it'll happen, although a complete restructuring of their executive suites should occur.
I agree. There was a CVS near me that I could have walked to and I only went there once and never went back. Dollar Gens have always been the dumpiest of dumps. The Target near me went full on commie during the plandemic and I haven’t been back. They all suck, Walmart sucks the most but people don’t have enough options, unfortunately.
All true, and Walmart is probably the biggest reason that those options don't exist. In that, they completely succeeded.
Target and Menard's both went off the deep end; the former with the wokeness bullshit, and the latter with the covid tyranny. I avoid both now.
Other than the prefab buildings that pop up in more rural towns, has there ever been a DG that hasn't been put in an old Burger King, Hardee's, dead strip mall, etc?
CVS might as well become a police station now, with as many calls to break up fights, violent "customers", and other problematic people calls that they get...
A lot of people in my area love Dollar General. They are popping up all over the place here in eastern NC. I got my wife a cell phone a few years ago at Dollar General for $19.99, and it lasted for a few years. Great deal.
Yep. Going the way of Radio Shack (R.I.P.), who made the same mistakes and ventured too far from how they were originally founded. It makes good business sense to evolve with the times, but sometimes it goes way too far...
The Radio Shack in my town turned into a mostly cell phone outlet store. The clerks knew phones, but nothing else. Only a small part of the store had parts, antennas, etc. They used to carry computers, stereos, etc. I bought my first big computer there, a Tandy 3000NL.
My Macy's store in the mall close to my home closed down; now for about 4 yrs! I interviewed for a p-t job at that store just before that and distinctly recall meeting with the store manager and him saying', this is our store, our pride and joy and our employees take much time, effort & care to make sure customers are satisfied. Isn't that ironic that a few short months later the store was slotted for closing? Weird hindsight...

my local Dollar General just completed big remodel --their prices similar to 7-11 no savings
