Store Closure Watch
646 closure records this week across 542 businesses

Find out where, when, and why US businesses are closing

New data every Monday, early enough to act on.

We publish every closure we can verify, with the street address, the closing date, and a link to the source. Eight sectors covered: retail, restaurants, grocery, industrial, logistics, healthcare, offices, and hospitality.

The file starts before the closing does. Businesses showing distress with nothing closed yet go on a weekly watchlist, drawn from open source news, bankruptcy filings, layoff notices, eviction suits, and receiverships.

Used by brokers, liquidators and auction buyers, lenders, and economic development agencies.

Data current as of September 5, 2026. Cancel anytime.

New in the file

Four new data streams, now in every weekly file

Sourced from federal and state filings and verified over three weeks before launch. Of roughly 100 bank-branch closings in a recent cycle, about 90 had no press coverage anywhere — the federal filing is the only public record they closed.

  • Bank-branch closures from FDIC filings

    Branch-level closings straight from federal structure filings, with addresses and effective dates.

  • Motor-carrier shutdowns

    Trucking and freight companies surrendering federal operating authority — with company contact details where the registry carries them.

  • Healthcare closures from state license data

    Florida and Texas facility closures from state regulator records — typically weeks ahead of any news coverage.

  • Early-warning flags when an industry speeds up

    When an industry starts filing closures much faster than its own recent normal, the Watchlist flags it before company news catches up. Logistics was an early flag, running at about double its usual weekly pace.

Every record carries its source document — nothing is inferred. See the full breakdown in this week's roundup →

Plus a court-verified bankruptcy sale calendar — sale motions, auctions, and hearings, updated weekly.

More than a closure list

The data goes deeper than headline retail chains.

It's not just national retailers. The dataset spans independent and local businesses, restaurants, manufacturing and industrial sites, grocers, banks, and health care — with liquidation, asset, and closure-timing detail on each record.
