Local Chains In Jeopardy Of The 2023 Retail-Apocalypse

Everyday it feels like a new store/restaurant is closing... while another one is opening!

Here are the stores that are being closed across the country, and could be closed in Southern Utah next!

Best Buy:

Closures in 2023: 20 locations in 2023.

Best Buy surprises me everyday that there are SO MANY LOCATIONS still, in 2023. For electronics, I feel like most people are going to Target, Walmart, or ordering online with Amazon. Best Buy will be closing 20 locations this year, but the St. George location will survive this year.

Bed Bath & Beyond:

Closures in 2023: 200+ locations in 2023.

I give it a year or two before the St. George location is gone, so get all the bed, bath and beyond while you can!

JC Penney:

Closures in 2023: 175 locations in 2023.

JC Penney is like a candle in the wind... BUT IT JUST WONT DIE OUT! JC Penney has been here since I was kid! Maybe 30 years in the mall? They're going strong! They're surviving 2023 in St. George.

Walmart:

Closures in 2023: 154 locations in 2023.

Walmart is shockingly CLOSING a lot of locations across the United States. However, the Washington location, Bloomington location, Hurricane location, and Cedar City location are all surviving 2023!

Joann:

Closures in 2023: 8 locations in 2023.

HOW IS THIS PLACE STILL IN BUSINESS?! Joann's is closing a few locations across the US, but that doesn't mean they're going out of business! They will stay open doing a lot of online sales in 2023! The Washington location is safe!

CVS/Walgreens:

Closures in 2023: 200+ locations in 2023.

Walgreens is closing A TON of locations across the nation, but all the Southern Utah locations WILL SURVIVE in 2023!

Kohl's:

Closures in 2023: 27 locations in 2023.

This could be one of the final years Kohl's is in business here in St. George. Every time I go inside, I'm only one of a handful of people in the store! They're here for 2023, but I'm not sure if they'll make it much longer past that!

FINALLY! The New Stores At Southern Utah's Red Cliffs Mall!

Red Cliffs Mall has been the butt of the joke for Southern Utah shopping for YEARS...
BUT THAT IS ALL CHANGING NOW!

Multiple stores are set to open to the public at Red Cliffs Mall, and it's VERY EXCITING!

Al's Sporting Goods (Spring 2023):

The old Sears building has been vacant for years but this spring it will be a MASSIVE and LOCAL Sporting Goods Store: Al's Sporting Goods!

This will be Al's Sporting Goods' 5th location! Logan, Orem in Utah, and Idaho Falls and soon Boise in Idaho! They'll be inside the old Sears location with over 70,000 square feet of space!

Kai Sushi (Spring 2023):

This is in the new strip mall part of the Red Cliffs Mall and opening soon! They'll be open 7 days a week!

Desserts Coming Soon (Possibly WannaCinn):

Located next to Kai Sushi there's no details as to WHAT is coming here, but I believe it's WannaCinn, a Cinnamon Roll shop! The Red Cliffs Mall website has them coming soon, as well as WannaCinn's Instagram!

Chico's:

Lululemon:

This is an ACTUAL Lululemon store, not just the "Pop-Up" store that was located by Dick's Sporting Goods! People go nuts for Lululemon!
