Also laying off or closing altogether but not listed are K-Marts, Krogers, Albertsons and Pier One Imports.
Notable ones around here leaving empty store fronts behind: Macy’s, J.C. Penney, Sears, Radio Shack, Office Depot, Barnes & Noble, Chicos, Bass Shoes, Borders, Hallmark Stores, a LOT of restaurants. Most McDonalds also look like they have one foot in the grave as well.
The one store expanding is Ross Dress for Less, which I call the Ross Ghetto Store.
