Heads up, shoppers: over 8,000 chain stores closed in 2025, and 2026 is off to a rocky start with Macy’s and Saks Global making big exit moves. The reason? Too many stores, not enough shoppers, and everyone’s hunting for better deals. So, expect more clearance sales and empty storefronts, but don’t panic—Walmart and online shopping are still going strong. Pro tip: keep an eye out for those going-out-of-business bargains! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailApocalypse
