[tps_header]

Rather than tucking their tails and jumping into the cloud, many large retail stores are closing down under performing physical locations in order to improve stronger locations. Some are in bankruptcy, a few are shutting down for good, and some will focus on online sales.

These companies are stocking new products, doing market analysis, and collecting data to pull customers from their phones and back into stores.

Here are the 20+ stores that have decided to scale back operations.  We will continue to update this post as we hear of new store closings.
