Modell’s Sporting Goods

If you’ve ever visited New York City, you’ve probably heard of Modell’s Sporting Goods, which has nearly as many locations as subway stations. In Times Square, two Modell’s have been found within a block of each other. They are, however, closing, along with the rest of the company’s East Coast locations. Modell’s announced the closure of 24 of its stores in February, but a few weeks later, the chain filed for bankruptcy and announced the closure of all of its locations from Massachusetts to Virginia.

A.C. Moore

A.C. Moore, an arts and crafts store chain, has closed its doors. The retailer, which was known for its generous coupons and operated primarily east of the Mississippi, has closed its doors. Early in 2020, the company announced that it would close its doors. The first store in New Jersey was opened in 1985 by a man named Jack Parker. Up to 40 A.C. Moore art and craft stores may have reopened as Michaels.
