Toys R Us may have been the most recent store to shut its doors for good, but there are countless others who have had to face the same fate.
In 2018 alone, more than 3,800 stores are set to close across the United States. In 2017, 6,400 stores closed. Malls are losing their anchor stores, and many are being abandoned due to the rise of e-commerce and declining foot traffic to malls.
But even when shopping malls were in their heyday, many stores still shuttered for various reasons. Department stores like Bon-Ton and Ames, bookstores like Waldenbooks and Borders, and clothing stores like Wet Seal and Limited Too are among the many stores that have permanently shut their doors.
Here are other stores you’ll never be able to shop at again.
