Lord & Taylor
After being in operation for over 100 years, Lord & Taylor decided to shut down the flagship store last year. It is the one located on Fifth Avenue. Sadly, more stores are going to close shop this year. Lord & Taylor is planning to shut down 10 more locations in 2020, but they have yet to announce which ones.
Kohl’s
Kohl’s wanted to avoid suffering the same things that other mall retailers did, which is why the company is going to close 4 stores located in or near malls this year. The company said that they were “lower-performing” stores and assured that the employees at those locations would get a severance package or a position at another shop. It looked like the closures were meant to be a preventive measure instead of a desperate need. The company plans to have the same number of shops by opening 4 smaller ones.
