Illinois store closings

You can add Party City and Bath & Body Works to the growing list of companies that are closing stores in order to keep their respective chains afloat. Both companies have stores here in Illinois, but only one of them has announced their plans for those Illinois locations.

After recently announcing that Bed Bath & Beyond would be closing up to 150 stores nationwide and laying off 20 percent of their workforce, company executives have gone to work putting some stores on the chopping block.
