The Mall of American Retail Bankruptcy
This map depicts some of the biggest retail bankruptcy cases since 2008, and how many stores they operated at the time of their bankruptcy filing. The current economic downturn has been particularly harsh on retail shops, causing big brands like Eddie Bauer, Circuit City, K-B Toys and Linens n' Things to file bankruptcy. Holiday sales, which can be 40 percent of a store's annual sales, have been down in recent years. Many of these stores reorganized, but others were forced to shut down entirely and close all of their shops.
