More than 8,000 store closures were announced in 2017
 

Some of those brands opened stores like there was no tomorrow ! Selling the same shit under 20 different names, can you blame the public for not supporting it ? :2 cents:

A lot of these stores are being priced out of business by the rent they pay for the stores. Some by the employees.

Mostly by the fact you can get it cheaper online.

Some of those companies are just mind boggling as to why they needed stores in the 1st place.. Like... crocs realy? Why do they need their own stores, just sell in other stores.. Same with designers like jcrew... why are they running stores they should just be selling in big box stores..
