Throughout the last couple of years, retailers have been closing their stores. Why? Mainly because digital shopping continues to siphon shoppers away from physical stores.

As mall traffic continues to slow, there isn’t enough foot traffic for many retailers to justify a large physical footprint. While the vast majority of commerce still occurs at the store level retailers are quickly realizing that they no longer need to have a store in every community to be successful.

Store closings continue to be a daily occurance across the industry regardless of segment. Below are 10 retailers that have undergone or plan to implement significant store closings.
