Bon-Ton
Bon-Ton, the online retailer and department store, has been in business for over a century, but it’s time to say goodbye. The store went bankrupt last year, and all of its locations were closed. In 2018, it did reopen for e-commerce and a few stores. They were initially very successful because they worked in small communities with little competition. Amazon, of course, tinkering with it.

Claire’s began in 1961 as an accessories store. For a long time, it was a favorite shop of many young American ladies. In 2018, the company postponed its IPO and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It closed more than 130 locations across the country in May of that year.
