Southeastern Grocers
Supermarkets have not been spared by the deluge of store closures. Southeastern Grocers is the operator of Bi-Lo, Harveys, and Winn-Dixie. It announced that it was going to close 22 stores by March 25. This came about less than a year after the parent company recovered from its bankruptcy filing. Back then, the bankruptcy resulted in the closure of 94 stores. Bi-Lo is set to suffer the most with 13 closures.

Lord & Taylor
Lord & Taylor managed to stay in the business for longer than a century! Sadly, it shut down the Fifth Avenue flagship store last year. It is tragic to hear that more stores are up for closure this year. Lord & Taylor will close as much as 10 more before the year ends. Stay tuned to hear which ones they are.
