How the list is built

Closures and bankruptcy filings are compiled weekly from company press releases, SEC and court filings, and trade press, with each row traced to its source. Individual store addresses come from court-filing exhibits, WARN notices, and published closure lists, then geocoded; large rolling programs list only locations their sources actually name, so board coverage varies by announcement. Ongoing situations are re-listed only when the status changes, marked as updates. Quiet weeks with nothing that qualifies aren't listed, so the latest week shown is the most recent with announcements. Analysis of what the closures mean for site selection runs in the This Week in Retail newsletter.

This isn’t for people collecting closure headlines

It’s for the ones deciding where the next store goes. Every week, This Week in Retail reads the week’s closures for site-selection signal: which dark boxes are openings, and which are dying markets to skip.
