Earth Fare
Smaller organic grocery stores learn that the goliath Whole Foods and its owner, Amazon, are unbeatable. So earth Fare, based in Asheville, North Carolina, has decided to give up the fight. In early February, the chain announced that it would close all 50 of its natural foods supermarkets in 10 Southern and Midwestern states. Then, just as going-out-of-business sales were getting underway, the company filed for bankruptcy. Dinner for the Earth was the name of the first Earth Fare restaurant, which opened in 1975. In 1993, it was replaced.

Bose
Bose is closing all 119 of its retail locations in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia because it is no longer interested in having brick-and-mortar stores. In addition, the Bose website lists 50 locations in the US, all of which will close in the coming months. The first Bose store in the US opened in 1993 as a place for customers to test and experience the company’s products. However, Bose claims that its customers are increasingly shopping online.
