Payless
Among all the companies found on this list, Payless ShoeSource has the most store closures. Sadly, the company wanted to shutter over 2,500 stores. They held clearance sales in the hopes of getting rid of all stock and liquidating all the products. Even though there are a couple of stores that did not close until May, others were already gone by March.
Gymboree
In the middle of January, Gymboree Group Inc. declared bankruptcy. The children’s clothes retailer informed everyone that it was shuttering approximately 800 locations of both Gymboree and Crazy 8 in the United States and Canada. It went on to suspend online transactions and kicked off liquidation sales in remaining stores too. The saddest part is that it had not even been three years since Gymboree first filed for bankruptcy. In 2017, the company also halted its operations in a couple of stores.
