AT&T
The plan is for AT&T to shutter 250 of its retail stores. This includes Cricket Wireless and AT&T stores. According to the Communications Workers of America, around 1,300 people will suffer from these store closures. CNN reported that the company wants to offer employees of the affected locations remote jobs within the company. These store closures take place only two years since the initial announcement that it would open more than a thousand stores. At the time, AT&T had more than 5,300 stores.
Tuesday Morning
These are also trying times for deep-discount retailers such as Tuesday Morning, although it might seem like they regularly hold going-out-of-business sales. It has since declared bankruptcy and planned to hold liquidation sales while it steeled itself to shutter 230 stores out of 700 n the summer of 2020. CEO Steve Becker, in a press release, stated, “The prolonged and unexpected closures of our stores in response to COVID-19 has had severe consequences on our business.”
