Amidst inflation, consumers are turning to store brands like Bob's Stores, a discount clothing and shoe retailer with locations in Connecticut and Massachusetts, which is going out of business and closing all stores due to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Started in 1954, Bob's Stores has been a staple in local communities, providing customers with affordable options. The going-out-of-business sales offer discounts between 30% and 70% off regular prices, including store fixtures and equipment. Despite efforts to stay afloat, changing ownership and financial struggles have led to this unfortunate outcome. This closure adds to the growing trend of retail store closures across the country as the industry grapples with bankruptcies and the impact of inflation on consumer spending. Customers have until July 14 to use gift cards or make exchanges before the stores shut down for good.
