Locally, since the prior round of shutdowns several years ago, there are 7 stores within about 10 miles of me here. Of these, 3 are selling off, shipping out and will close imminently. Two others, in large ( expensive rent ) malls will temporarily serve as "clearance stores" disposing of the merchandise from the closed store, plus their own. The other tow, smaller stores in out-of-the-way strip malls, and having the lowest rent will stay 'as-is' for the immediate future. I took advantage of 50% off in two stores to round out my own supply cabinet, and will also keep an eye on one of the clearance stores in hopes of bargains on a wider array of stuff.
It's unfortunate that mismanagement, misreading the trends and maintaining too many stores ( a common afflictions ) will leave me without a 'go-to' locally for something I need quickly and will instead have to deal with on line and the resulting shipping delay.
