Bon-Ton
Bon-Ton, the online retailer and department store, has been around for a century, but it is time to say goodbye. In the previous year, the store declared bankruptcy and then liquidated its stores. However, in 2018, it reopened for e-commerce and reopened a few storefronts. They had a lot of success at first since they operated in small areas with little competition. Of course, Amazon modified that.
Claire’s
Claire’s is an accessories business that first opened its doors in 1961. For a long period, it was the favorite store of many young American ladies. However, the business halted its IPO and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2018. It closed more than 130 outlets around the country in May of that year.
