Gymboree
Gymboree has had a difficult year: it officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January and has recently announced that about 800 of Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores will be shut down for good. In the meantime, online sales are still going on, as well as liquidation sales in stores.
Family Dollar
Family Dollar was an affordable option for many, but perhaps it wasn’t enough. Dollar Tree, which owns Family Dollar, announced that up to 390 Family Dollar stores will be shut down. Additionally, about 200 stores will be renamed. The company will also experiment with charging more than $1 for items.
