Ever notice your go-to stores vanishing? 2025 was brutal for retail: inflation and tighter budgets meant big names like Joann, Rite Aid, and Party City closed their doors for good.

If you’re looking for deals, keep an eye on those liquidation sales—but don’t get tricked into buying stuff you don’t need! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
