“…Other important developments in recent decades include the decline and failure of major wellknown retailers and department stores, the growth of online shopping, and the incorporation of social media into business models (Rice et al, 2016). Many retailers including Sears, J.C. Penney, Macy's, Radio Shack, H.H.…”

This study analyzes three national department store chains in order to identify the factors most associated with their store closures. A binary logistic regression revealed some consistencies and differences in the associations. Larger stores are less likely to close for all three chains. Macy's and Sears stores are less likely to close in large malls (than freestanding stores) and if they are located in the West. J.C. Penney stores in the west are also less likely to close than in other regions, but stores in large shopping centers are more likely to close than freestanding stores. Store age was only significant for J.C. Penney stores, and indicated that older stores are more likely to close. Implications for retail managers and city economic vitality are mentioned and future research possibilities are discussed.

“…A key part of Walmart's strategy was the development of centralized distribution and logistics capabilities that vertically integrated into distribution, including marketing and sales and outbound logistics (LeCavalier 2016). Walmart's distribution and logistics framework manifested in a mostly contiguous expansion over time, with new distribution centers being built within driving distance of existing Supercenters (Holmes 2011, Rice et al 2016. This logistics framework, also known as hub and spoke in the literature, played a large role in informing Walmart's store location decisions and contributed to Walmart's expansion during the 1980 to 2000 period, when many other retail chains began closing stores and divesting interests (Bonanno & Goetz 2012).…”

Our purpose is to review the economic impacts of Walmart's disruption of the food retailing industry. This review synthesizes the extant knowledge and research findings related to the economic impacts of Walmart's entry into, and subsequent domination of, food retailing in the United States and more broadly globally. The findings suggest five broad generalizations: ( a) Walmart's physical growth in the United States has slowed considerably, but the company is growing rapidly in terms of total assets, digital capabilities, international presence, and sales per square foot; ( b) Walmart's entry and presence are associated with lower food prices for households; ( c) Walmart has considerable negative impacts on large competitors, particularly supermarkets, but the evidence for Walmart's deleterious impacts on small businesses is limited; ( d) there is no consensus on the impact of Walmart on local employment, but most studies on the topic point to a modest increase in retail employment; and ( e) Walmart likely increases food access but does not improve dietary quality. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Resource Economics, Volume 14 is October 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
