Let us explore further.
The Buckle, 2023
According to a report from BestLifeOnline.com, entitled “Clothing Chains, Including Gap and J.Crew, Are Closing Stores, Starting Sunday,” Buckle is but one of several chain retailers closing stores in the next few weeks.
As excerpted from the report: Buckle announced that it is shuttering a location in Charlotte, North Carolina, also on Sunday, local NBC-affiliate WCNC reported. The fashion retailer confirmed that its store at the Northlake Mall will shut down through a statement on its website. "We are closing this location at the end of day March 26," Buckle wrote. "We invite you to visit us at one of our nearby locations."
An Apple store had recently closed in this mall due to a spate of gun violence.
The report went on to state: WCNC reported that the Charlotte mall has experienced three shootings since Dec. 2022, drawing concerns about the safety of shoppers and employees.
