Over 3 Dozen Disney Stores Coming to a Close
March 23, 2021
When the lockdown first began last March because of Covid-19, people utilized online shopping more than ever. As it is not one hundred percent safe for all businesses to open quite yet, customers have been showing their support through online purchases. Although we may not realize it, businesses all over the world were greatly affected by this. More surprisingly, it affected the business of Disney stores. Over three dozen Disney stores in the U.S are said to be closing “on or before” March 23rd. Disney says that the reason they are bringing so many stores to a close is so that they can focus on its e-commerce business. Disney tells us not to fret nonetheless, as the closings will not affect its parks. More locally, the beloved, nostalgic Disney store located in the Freehold Raceway Mall is one of the many stores that will be closing by March 23. Listed below are other stores across the country, as listed on the “store locator” section of the Disney website, that will be closing; just to give you an idea of how many stores are shutting down. Or, if you have family in these locations, you can give them a heads up! On the bright side, you may be able to get your hands on some wishlist items with their liquidation sales:
