Can’t find your favorite store? It may have closed: In 2020, the shutters of 3,744 stores were permanently closed. And maybe there were people who waited until Christmas to see if. But that didn’t work, and the epidemic overridden holiday shopping habits. And the second lock was even harder to survive.

The press of the web, the more popularity of the large area, and presumably the problems caused by the coronavirus also played a role in the fact that you can now find fewer stores open than a year earlier. But according to the statistics, the number of stores has been steadily declining for a decade and a half. And year after year, you found fewer stores in a time when the grocery world was growing by 5-6 percent in the years before the coronavirus.
