Illinois business closings

We read and hear about business closings every single day, but the vast majority of the closing are on a permanent basis. That's not exactly the case with this home improvement giant. Here's why they're shutting down for one day and one day only.

This iconic breakfast restaurant chain, founded in 1953, was already planning to close 150 locations by the end of this year--but now they've decided to close even more of their stores to keep the company afloat.

Saying that they're dealing with an ongoing bankruptcy, this chain plans to permanently close nearly 500 of their 800 stores in 40 states across the country, including here in Illinois.

Once again, rising prices and changing customer spending habits are being blamed for yet another company with locations from coast-to-coast deciding to close hundreds of stores. Here's what that means for Illinois.

There are lots of reasons behind the planned closures of 1,200 pharmacies across the nation, but all the major drugstore chains in the country are going through a period of closing stores to keep the entire chain afloat under adverse circumstances. How many will be closing in Illinois? That question remains unanswered right now.

The seafood lover in you may cringe at the news that this major seafood chain is having more difficulties than they'd planned on, but it's true. A new ruling may force a lot more closures than were initially announced a month or so back.
