Get Ready for Mass Retail Closing (with video)
About 220,000 stores may close this year in America, says our guest, retail consultant Howard Davidowitz of Davidowitz & Associates. As more Americans save and spend less, it's clear there's too much retail space. Just visit Web site deadmalls.com [see below]and track retail's growing body count. And luxury retailers? They're on "life support," Davidowitz says.
Among the brandname stores Davidowitz says are in trouble:
-
Nordstrom
-
Neiman Marcus
-
Tiffany
-
Jeweler Zale Corp.
-
Saks
-
J.C. Penney
-
Sears
Plus, earlier we discussed:
- Retail goods on sale -- perhaps permanently.
- And the 'worst is yet to come:' Americans' standard of living permanently changed.
