The Walt Disney Company has made plans to close 20% of its Disney Store locations across North America.
The company operates 300 stores nationwide, and the decision to close 20% of them has been made as the pandemic has pushed more consumers to avoid in-person shopping and to strictly shop online.
“We now plan to create a more flexible, interconnected ecommerce experience that gives consumers easy access to unique, high-quality products across all our franchises,” Stephanie Young, Disney’s president of consumer products, games and publishing, said in a statement.
Will The Disney Store in Destiny USA Be Closing?
Unfortunately, yes. They will be closing in June, per the company website.
