A well-known national chain is making big changes in an effort to survive. After struggling for years, the company has announced it will be shutting down over 200 locations, including several in Minnesota.
The retail apocalypse marched on in 2024, leaving shuttered storefronts in its wake and emptying more malls. As we head into 2025, it looks like a popular shoe store is next in line to tighten its laces and bow out of struggling locations.
On line shopping is apparently doing damage to another brick and mortar chain. Toys R Us, facing hundred's of millions in debt, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
