Full list of Aldi, Walmart & Bed Bath & Beyond stores closing up as 'retail apocalypse' hits - see t

MAJOR retailers, including Aldi, Walmart, and Bed Bath & Beyond, have shut down store locations across the country as a "retail apocalypse" hits.

The term "retail apocalypse" was coined by Dennis Dick, a trader at Las Vegas-based Bright Trading LLC, to describe the decline of major stores.

Dick told Reuters: "This is a little bit of a retail apocalypse," when talking about the 25 percent fall in Walmart's quarterly profit back in May 2022.

"It was Walmart and everybody thought it was a one-off."

"Now that Target missed earnings [by] a lot more than Walmart even did, they're scared that the consumer is not as strong as everybody thinks," said Dick.

Walmart has since bounced back with a 16 percent year-over-year online sales growth and global advertising revenue has grown over 30 percent, according to Walmart's FY 2023 Q3 earnings release.

Shuttered stores had issues such as fires and poor financial performance.

ALDI STORE CLOSINGS

Aldi, known for its stores that are small in size, but full of great deals on groceries, also shut their doors in big cities like Chicago and Minneapolis.

In June 2022, an Aldi location in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois, shut down.

The company's decision to close the Auburn Gresham location was "based on several factors, including repeated burglaries and declining sales," an Aldi spokesperson said.

More recently, Aldis closed its doors in the Jordan neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

On February 12, the store location shuttered because of unforeseen structural issues relating to Aldi's expansion plans.

An Aldi spokesperson said that the store is closing “due to the inability to renovate the store to accommodate our larger product range and our current lease term expiring.”

BED BATH & BEYOND CLOSINGS

Hundreds of Bed Bath & Beyond store locations have closed as the company fights to avoid bankruptcy in the United States.
