Retail Watchers

Another batch of closures dropped yesterday, and it's a smaller one this time: three New York stores (the only store in Tonawanda [former Eckerd], Halsey Street and Broadway in Brooklyn [and it's adjacent to a station for the subway's J line], and one of four stores in Lockport [the closing one is a...

The first sizable store closure list in a while dropped today. Two Michigan stores this time: the last store in Novi (an unremodeled Customer World store at 13 and Novi Road) and one of three stores in Sterling Heights (15 and Dodge Park, also a Customer World-era store, though this one was remodele...

Another interesting thought regarding this topic is that one of the Walgreens stores in Taylor, MI, is basically their typical store type but it's part of a strip mall, and this one was acquired almost 10 years ago from the independent that originally opened this store. Walgreens even remodeled it i...

According to the Minute Clinic website's locator, the one in Wyandotte, Michigan (Fort & Northline) has closed, unknown exactly when, but it was likely within the past few months. This was the only Minute Clinic location Downriver, but a few Minute Clinics remain open elsewhere in the Detroit me...

This article on the closing Midtown Detroit Rite Aid mentions another factor in its closure that isn't corporate-related: allegedly this location had theft issues. https://www.freep.com/story/money/business/2024/03/13/rite-aid-cvs-drugstore-walgreens-closures-woodward-detroit-highland-park/729290400...

I also find it odd they brought the liquidators in January 29 and since then they have only announced 3 store closures. Two of which were just announced yesterday: 1081 Mount Vernon Avenue in Marion, Ohio: a diamond-window store that even went as far as installing a digital marquee on the road sign...

For the past couple months, this ad was the only one I saw run on TV, on stations in both the Detroit and Toledo markets, so those new ads probably will end up on TV too.

New closure round.
