Hope there are some left then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-retailer-file-for-bankruptcy#post-2197172 Sun, 23 May 2021 07:19:16 +0000 Cardiff girl 2197172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it’s the same here.Outdoor.

I’m about to source everything for our master bathroom renovation, and wondering how that will go. Eek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-retailer-file-for-bankruptcy#post-2196903 Sat, 22 May 2021 01:56:49 +0000 elpgal 2196903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am dreading navigating the altered retail landscape.</p> <p>Janet, you are absolutely right. The cost of plywood is through the roof. Seeds are in high demand and singles of flowers and vegetable seedlings are going for close to $5 whereas earlier you could get a 4- or 6-pack for that price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-retailer-file-for-bankruptcy#post-2196711 Fri, 21 May 2021 12:16:35 +0000 Janet 2196711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is actually an old thread I don’t mind being resurrected as it tracks what’s happening now vs almost a year ago. It’s surreal to see how many large clothing brands and b&amp;m shops still seem to be struggling, even though Covid restrictions are easing in the US... until you look at the discount retailers, which still seem to attract customers if what I see is any indication. A small number of stalwart local boutique shops here are still standing, thanks to creative social media marketing and personal relationships with customers. But it’s got to be tough. </p> <p>By contrast, garden centers, hardware and home decorating stores seem to be going gangbusters still! People may be emerging from their cocoons a bit, but it seems *home* has taken a big priority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-retailer-file-for-bankruptcy#post-2196699 Fri, 21 May 2021 11:24:26 +0000 kkards 2196699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny that this popped back up.<br />Yes, FI over all about 17 major retailers entered bankruptcy last year, and 9500 stores closed<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.retaildive.com/news/the-running-list-of-2020-retail-bankruptcies/571159/">https://www.retaildive.com/new.....es/571159/</a><br />some of the chains that entered bankruptcy are still operating but many others are gone.&nbsp;<br />And there are additional impacts this year, the biggest being Belk’s department stores.<br />Harder to understand, and how the trend contines as vaccines become wider spread is the impact of buy on line pick up in store&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2021/01/08/why-retailers-should-actively-nudge-consumers-to-buy-online-pick-up-in-store-bopis/?sh=6a99fcd82849">https://www.forbes.com/sites/f.....dge-consum</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-retailer-file-for-bankruptcy#post-2196689 Fri, 21 May 2021 09:08:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2196689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This felt overwhelming, like it was a wave that was just going to build more &amp; more.

Their wide-legged Marina pant is wardrobe essential for me (it’s the only style of work pant I wear) so I’ve stocked up on few more.
