The growth in the number and popularity of e-commerce stores, such as Amazon, has made it difficult for traditional retailers to attract buyers to stores and forced companies to change their sales strategies. Many companies turned to advertising campaigns and strengthened their online presence in order to attract customers, while closing outlets with poor sales figures, writes Fox business.

Retail chains that have filed for bankruptcy or closing stores in recent months:

Abercrombie & Fitch

Over the past few years, the chain has closed hundreds of stores, focusing more on online sales and smaller retail formats. In May, Abercrombie & Fitch said it would close three of its flagship stores, including one in New York, and redesign 85 others.

aerosols

A women's footwear company based in New Jersey filed for bankruptcy in 2017, announcing plans to "significantly reduce" the number of stores. It is unclear how many Aerosoles retail outlets from 88 will be closed, but the network said it plans to keep four flagship stores in New York and New Jersey.

American Apparel
