Modell’s Sporting Goods

If you’ve ever visited New York City, you’re probably familiar with Modell’s Sporting Goods, which seems to have almost as many locations as subway stations. In fact, two Modell’s have been located within one block of each other in Times Square. However, they are now closing, along with all of the company’s other East Coast locations. In February, Modell’s announced that 24 of its stores would close, but a few weeks later, the chain filed for bankruptcy and announced that all of its locations, from Massachusetts to Virginia, would close.

A.C. Moore

A.C. Moore, a chain of arts and crafts stores, is no longer in business. The retailer, which operated primarily east of the Mississippi and was known for its generous coupons, has closed its doors. The company announced that it would close its doors in early 2020. In 1985, a man named Jack Parker opened the first store in New Jersey. Up to 40 A.C. Moore stores may have reopened as Michaels arts and crafts stores.
