Bon-Ton
Bon-Ton, the online retailer and department store, has been around for a century, but it’s time to say farewell. The store filed for bankruptcy last year and then closed all of its locations. However, it reopened for e-commerce in 2018 and reopened a few shops. They were initially quite successful because they worked in small towns with little competition. Of course, Amazon changed it.

Claire’s
Claire’s was founded in 1961 as an accessories store. For a long time, it was the favorite shop of many young American girls. In 2018, the firm, however, halted its IPO and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It closed more than 130 stores around the country in May of that year.
