Forever 21, maybe? IIRC they had a big liquidation sale (near where I live) & I figured that was that. A year or two later (if that), I’m noticing stores that are still (or re-)opened (but not that 1 store, i don’t believe).
Claire’s?

I remembered that Rite Aid declared bankruptcy last year and my guess is that they’ll probably make it, found this article about it:

I actually went to a Big Lots yesterday to get some of those storage bins. They had a hand-written sign taped to the entrance door:
CASH ONLY, SORRY
I turned around and left.

There was a time when Big Lots was a pretty good store but it had a sea change a decade ago or so.
