Francesca’s
Francesca’s is a women’s clothing and accessories chain that has been struggling for quite some time now. The store’s prices aren’t anything to send customers running in, which has been one of their biggest problems. Getting people into the door is the first step, and if they’re failing at that, it’s no wonder their sales are so low. In 2019 the store will close 40 of its locations across the country.
CVS
When you hear that CVS is shutting down 46 stores this year, it sounds a bit alarming… until you hear that they’re shutting down 46 of their 9,600 stores! CVS decided to shut down some of its most “underperforming” stores, which makes sense. One of these store cuts includes its largest store in the country, which is a 64,000 square foot location in Springfield, Missouri. When the average CVS is 13,000 square feet, it’s hard to even imagine how large this store was. Though 46 stores are closing, CVS is still alive and kicking for now.
