Retail chains across the nation are temporarily closing their doors to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to do their part to encourage “social distancing.”
While many hoped to reopen by the end of March, continued shelter-in-place measures in the United States mean that many will stay shuttered indefinitely.
More than 100 retailers have closed storefronts, and dozens more have limited hours and partial closures.
