I've watched many businesses in my area close and now remain empty. Our mall also closed, and the entire thing was torn down. The city is planning to build a "mixed-use" commercial area that includes retail, restaurants, and entertainment options. It's sad when a business closes. It's as if a piece of history disappears, and the empty storefronts serve as a poignant reminder of our changing times.
Most of the buildings that become vacant here eventually get another business to go in there. Restaurants are one of the things that seem to rotate in and out. There is this one area where they put up a building with 14 storefronts. It's was built in December 2018. It has NEVER had a tenant. But right down the road, they knocked down a whole bunch of woods and put 2 new stores in. They opened recently. And they have 3 more businesses going in at that area.
Interesting post Matt. When I moved to Florida in 97, I had gotten a job at a Subway sandwich store right around the corner of where I lived. It was located in a strip plaza that had a Kmart too. Well, the subway where I worked for about six months said they were closing. Okay, so I got a job then at Kmart. I worked in various departments there for a couple of years and then they closed. I worked in a couple of other places, Eckards drug store being one. I worked in the photo lab and loved it but then they closed and changed into a CVS. So, not having good references for future work has not helped me any. Change is inevitable but it can make life sometimes challenging.
Wow! I can't believe every job you went to ended up closing. That's too bad. I hear you on the references. I was out of a job for a long time because I couldn't find anything in my field. So when I was trying to find work, I didn't have any references since the people who I would have had were long gone from the companies I worked for.
Kmart and Eckerds were two stores I frequented. I was sad when they closed.
