We got kind of a break from the retail apocalypse in 2022, but here we are in 2025, three years later, still seeing store closings, fueled mainly by inflation and economic uncertainty.

Lots of store chains — particularly the mall-based ones — continue to struggle, and some are calling it quits. We’ve listed every major chain that closed 10 or more stores in 2025, and will keep this updated as news breaks. Not all of these stores will have liquidation sales — some move product around to other stores — but when there are savings to be had, we’ll let you know in this list.

On the bright side, we've added new store openings to this post to show that not all is lost in the world of retail. The most recent openings include Aldi, Costco, and Ross. Combined, these three are opening over 250 locations. Find out if a new store is coming near you.

GameStop is likely going to close hundreds of locations this year to focus on digital sales and bitcoin.

GameStop has announced they intend to close a significant number of locations this year. Although GameStop has yet to release an official list of upcoming closures, they've made it clear the downsize is not due to financial troubles (as is typically the case behind massive store closings). Instead, GameStop reports they'll focus on the online market and invest in cryptocurrency — more specifically, bitcoin.

Stay tuned! We'll update this post with the closure list as soon as GameStop announces the locations they intend to shutter this year.

Dollar General is shuttering 96 stores and 45 Popshelf stores.

Dollar General has announced they will close 96 Dollar General stores and 45 Popshelf stores. According to their last earnings report, the locations were selected based on their current (and predicted future) performance and operating conditions. With over 20,000+ Dollar General stores across 48 states, these store closings, represent less than 1% of their total store count. However, the Popshelf closures represent about 20% off their 220 stores (in 20 states). Dollar General has yet to announce the location closures, their closing date(s), or if any liquidation sales will take place

Forever 21 is closing their corporate headquarters and at least 200 of their 354 U.S. locations.

Fast fashion retailer Forever 21 has announced they'll close around 200 of their 354 U.S. locations. The company's Los Angeles corporate headquarters will also close with staff layoffs to begin on April 21. It's expected that Forever 21 will file for bankruptcy (second time since 2019) sometime this month and look for a buyer. If they can't find a buyer, Forever 21 will most likely shutter all 354 U.S. locations and liquidate their assets.

Although we don't know which locations are on the closure list, here the current Forever 21 locations. You can click to view all of the locations in each state.

Store Closing Update: Forever 21 has filed bankruptcy and is closing all U.S. locations.

Earlier this year, we shared that Forever 21 was in financial trouble and was closing their headquarters and more than half of their U.S. stores (see the above list). However, yesterday (March 16), Forever 21 filed bankruptcy for the second time in six years. This time around, they'll close all of their remaining U.S. locations. Although they have yet to announce any liquidation sales, you can count on deals to start soon. Forever21.com will remain live for shoppers as they shutter locations.

It's official, after 82 years in business and filing for bankruptcy for a second time (in less than a year), Joann Fabric is shuttering all of their 850 stores.
