Bon-Ton
The online retailer and department store Bon-Ton has been in business for a century, but it’s time to say goodbye. Last year, the retailer declared bankruptcy and closed all of its shops. It did, however, reopen for e-commerce and reopen a few storefronts in 2018. Because they operated in small communities with little competition, they were initially quite successful. Amazon, of course, changed all of that.

Claire’s
Claire’s began as an accessories boutique in 1961. It was a favorite store of many young American ladies for a long time. The company, on the other hand, postponed its IPO in 2018 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In May of that year, it closed more than 130 outlets across the country.
