store closings

The decimation of retail department stores continues as Macy's said on Tuesday that it will be closing 125 stores over the next three years. That's nearly one-fifth of the chain's total locations.

The company has yet to specify which locations will be shuttered as it prepares for financial reorganization.

It's been a rough year for brick & mortar retail.

Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. has announced they will be closing 60 stores across the U.S. after this year's holiday season.

Walgreens has confirmed they will be closing around 200 stores across the Country.

Dressbarn stores in Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Shreveport will be closing by the end of August as part of the brand's nationwide shutdown.

Three of the 49 additional stores that will be shuttered are located in South Louisiana.

Fred's Super Dollar Stores have announced an additional 104 store closings across the nation.

The closings will take place throughout 2019.

The four South Louisiana closings are part of a plan to shut down 159 stores nationwide.
