Fred’s Pharmacy
In May 2018, Fred’s Pharmacy reported that its gross sales for the previous fiscal year had dropped by 4.3% and its bottom-line loss reached $139.3 million. The company tried establishing 1,000 stores around the U.S., increasing from the 600 stores it already had. However, the plans fell through. It ended up selling to CVS for $40 million.
FullBeauty Brands Holdings Corp
FullBeauty owns brands for plus-size women and men like Woman Within, fullbeauty.com, Jessica London, ellos, Roaman’s, Brylane Home, and KingSize. This retailer is another one to blame the e-commerce giant, Amazon, for its declining sales. Apax Partners, the owner of FullBeauty, included this reason in the message they sent to their lenders in 2017.
