The author of this article which appeared in Truth & Action<\/a>\u00a0took a list of planned retail closings and ties it to fear of Jade Helm, riots and economic collapse. \u00a0 He uses a list which has “more than 6,000 store closings” planned.<\/p>\n Classic example of “There are two sides to every story.” \u00a0 I found a list of planned OPENINGS on line, \u00a0and even after taking out the companies that including global openings (such as McDonalds, who is opening 1,000 stores globally–you’d have to assume a lot of those are in the US) it came up to 6,934 stores opening as well. \u00a0 \u00a0My list is at the bottom of his article.<\/p>\n While there definitely are a lot of brick and mortar retailers scaling down and\/or closing, it is mostly due to the dollars being shifted to internet purchasing and not a pending “economic collapse.”<\/p>\n One side note–Walgreens is on the list with 200 planned openings but no sign of CVS or Rite-Aid. \u00a0 Perhaps that’s because they are spending all of their money buying pharmacy service providers for 12.9 billion.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our government has been preparing for massive civil unrest<\/a> and many fear that the coming Jade Helm<\/a> operation is simply a pretense for its preparation.<\/em><\/p>\n Is economic collapse coming this year<\/a>?<\/em><\/p>\n Major U.S. retailers have announced the closing of more than 6,000 stores from coast to coast. The list includes only those retailers which have announced plans to close more than 10 outlets this year and next.<\/strong><\/p>\n For example, 1,784 Radio Shack stores are vanishing, 400 of the Office Depot\/Office Max chain by 2016, and 340 Dollar Tree\/Family Dollar stores.<\/strong><\/p>\n The growing list of stores getting shuttered coincides with the decline in discretionary consumer spending over the past six months.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cExpect to see more storefronts closed at malls across the country,\u201d one retail watcher told WND. \u201cIt\u2019s getting ugly out there.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Another factor, the source said, is that Americans\u2019 credit is maxed out \u2013 a problem that will impact holiday season sales later this year. Add the demand of rising taxes, housing and health-insurance costs and you\u2019ve got a formula for belt-tightening across the board.<\/strong><\/p>\n Expected to be hit hardest by the trend are poorer and lower-middle class neighborhoods. The recent riots in Baltimore are expected to make retailers even more skittish.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And now my\u00a0list of planned store OPENINGS in 2015:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 1435\u00a0 Sprint (as part of the RadioShack bankruptcy<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n 1000\u00a0 Wendy’s<\/a> (by 2020)<\/strong><\/p>\n 730\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dollar General<\/a><\/p>\n 440\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dunkin Donuts (US in 2015)<\/strong><\/p>\n 350\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Philly Pretzel Factory (by 2020)<\/strong><\/p>\n 338\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tony Luke’s (by 2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n 240 \u00a0 \u00a0Walmart (U.S., large and small format)<\/p>\n 225\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Popeye’s<\/strong><\/p>\n 205\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chipotle<\/strong><\/p>\n 205 \u00a0 \u00a0O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts<\/p>\n 200 \u00a0\u00a0 Walgreens<\/p>\n 150\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dick’s Sporting Goods<\/a> (through 2018)<\/strong><\/p>\n 115\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tractor Supply<\/strong><\/p>\n 100 \u00a0\u00a0 ULTA<\/strong><\/p>\n 16 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Hobby Lobby<\/p>\n 70 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Miu Miu (by 2016)<\/p>\n 70 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pizza Studio<\/p>\n 60\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dunkin Donuts (through 2018 in Houston)<\/p>\n 60\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fresh Thyme Farmers Markets (through 2019)<\/p>\n 60\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pizza Hut (through 2017)<\/p>\n 60 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Sonic Drive-In<\/p>\n 50 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Prada Men\u2019s Store (by 2016)<\/p>\n 40\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 99 Cents Only<\/strong><\/p>\n 38 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Brookstone (by 2016)<\/p>\n 35 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Wal-Mart Neighborhood Markets<\/p>\n 30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Prada<\/strong><\/p>\n 27 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Blaze Pizza<\/p>\n 27 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Fresh Thyme Market (2015)<\/p>\n 27 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Nordstrom Rack<\/p>\n 25\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wawa<\/strong><\/p>\n 20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cabela\u2019s (through 2016)<\/p>\n 20 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Bed Bath & Beyond<\/p>\n 19\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fresh Market<\/strong><\/p>\n 18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CarMax (through 2018)<\/strong><\/p>\n 16\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Field and Stream (2016 and 2017)<\/strong><\/p>\n 16 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Hobby Lobby<\/p>\n 16 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pieology<\/p>\n 15\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lowe’s Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n 15 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Target<\/p>\n 15 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Whole Foods<\/a><\/p>\n 14 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pizza 9<\/p>\n 13 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7-Eleven<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 11 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Aldi<\/p>\n 11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yogasmoga<\/strong><\/p>\n 10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baskin-Robbins<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Boston Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 10\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jimmy John’s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 10 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Sprouts<\/p>\n 10 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Stein Mart<\/p>\n 10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tile Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The author of this article which appeared in Truth & Action\u00a0took a list of planned retail closings and ties it to fear of Jade Helm, riots and economic collapse. \u00a0 He uses a list which has “more than 6,000 store closings” planned.
