Modell’s Sporting Goods
If you’ve ever been to New York City, you’ve certainly heard of Modell’s Sporting Goods, which appears to have nearly as many stores as subway stations. In reality, two Modell’s have been located in Times Square, one block apart. They are, however, closing along with the rest of the company’s East Coast facilities. Modell’s announced the closure of 24 of its stores in February, but a few weeks later, the chain filed for bankruptcy and announced the closure of all of its locations from Massachusetts to Virginia.
A.C. Moore
A.C. Moore, an arts and crafts store chain, has gone out of business. The shop, which was famed for its generous coupons and operated mostly east of the Mississippi, has closed its doors. The company declared its intention to close its doors in early 2020. The first business in New Jersey was opened in 1985 by a man named Jack Parker. Up to 40 A.C. Moore locations could have reopened as Michaels arts and crafts stores.
