Bon-Ton

Bon-Ton, the online retailer and department store, has been around for a century, but it’s time to say goodbye. 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 stores. They were initially very successful because they operated in small towns with little competition. Of course, Amazon changed that.

Claire’s

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