Massive Retailer Closing 2 More Massachusetts Locations

Massachusetts experienced many changes in the retail business last year mainly the closures of brick and mortar stores. Mainstays including Christmas Tree Shops and Bed Bath and Beyond completely went out of business while Rite Aid and Walgreens had to close locations throughout Massachusetts. These closures occurred for a variety of reasons including changes in buying habits (online shopping), dynamics in the local market, and underperformance for example.
