Retailers are filing for bankruptcy at a staggering rate — and these 19 companies could be the next

[Rollie Forbes]

Rather them have shoes then have nothing.

Plus, when my dad was a pastor in the 90's he had to regularly buy shoes for the lil kids who would come to church barefoot because they outgrew their shoes and are too broke to replace them.

Everybody aint got it for retail.

S/O to your dad, breh!

• 99 Cents Only Stores LLC

If 99 Cents stores go bust then this HAS to be the work of some shady venture capitalists taking out loans on the company or some shyt, because their stores stay packed in every location I've been in, in different states. Ain't no way.

Just a consolidation. You have an oversaturation of dollar stores. Dollar General, Everything for 1.00, Family Dollar, etc.

Some of the bigger dollar stores are swallowing up the smaller less successful ones.

True, but 99 Cents stores are regional (west coast & Texas only) and at least here in CA (oh, and AZ last I was there) they're generally not facing the same problems as nationwide chains. They've done a good job of beating out the competition and remaining pretty exclusive in certain areas - they've even managed to keep competitor stores far away from them and in many cases, are the ONLY dollar store within a certain mile radius.

They've also been proactive in changing with the times. Most (if not all) locations now offer fresh produce & dairy, bakery goods, frozen meats and they started a line of $1.99 & up items years back, ranging from cookware to dishes to linens.

Tbh I'd more so expect to hear shyt like this about Dollar Tree, which has no problem building stores on every other block and oversaturating the market.

I get what you're saying and it's probably not wrong, but when you look at how they were bought by an investment management company and taken private 7ish years ago you start to wonder...

This is very similar to what's happening with Toys "R" Us right now. They were purchased by a private equity firm and then suddenly! they find themselves awash in debt. Just one of those things that make you go hm .

J crew?!?! PETSMART?!?!?!

• J.Crew Group, Inc. - too early to call on this one, but the basic, boring, slightly preppy look is dying. them and banana don't offer anything "funky" enough to show personality and their basics are similar to styles you can pick up for less or in a department store

... Majority of the country wears bland shyt. Don't be fooled by the bombardment of pop culture on your screen... this country is still a slacks/jeans and t-shirt/collared shirt nation. It's just that JCrew's shyt is too expensive for the commoner and stores with cheaper, similar items can give people their fix.


But Pet Smart and NM surprise me the most.

Most of these stores is bullshyt on their high ass prices... one store that deserves this bullshyt is macy's The furniture section had a leather loveseat for $2500 WHAT THE fukk?!!?

Macy's is bottom barrel for it's "market" tho.





...but "they" are really trying to get rid of the working class. Shyt gonna get ugly outchea.

Big facts. I think Mattress Firm is the new radio shack. Shyt has to be a front for the government.

STEM or Die......

Everything is moving from the tangible to the intangible. Guide your kids accordingly.

Dude, where I live, PetSmart has been building brand new locations in every strip mall they can find in every town.
