Retail closures continue heading into summer 2026, with several well-known chains planning on shutting down several locations. For many people, especially those who still rely on in-person pharmacy visits, department stores, and mall shopping, these changes may have a big impact on your daily routines and you may need to prepare yourself financially.

In many cases, closures are tied to lease expirations, rising operating costs, and ongoing shifts toward online purchasing. While not every shutdown is confirmed specifically for June, a number of store closures are expected to cluster around that period, depending on lease timing and regional decisions. Below is a closer look at 11 major retailers scaling back.

Editor's note: Store closure details are based on company announcements, investor reports, bankruptcy filings, and reporting from Reuters, Bloomberg, MacRumors, and official corporate websites.

Apple

Apple is one of the few retailers with confirmed June closures, including stores in Connecticut, California, and Maryland, according to reporting from MacRumors. The company has pointed to shifting mall conditions and declining traffic in certain shopping centers.

California: 272 E Via Rancho Parkway, Escondido 92025
Connecticut: 5065 Main Street, Trumbull 06611
Maryland: 825 Dulaney Valley Road, Towson 21204

Employees at affected stores may be relocated to nearby locations where possible. While Apple continues to invest in its most profitable retail stores, underperforming mall-based locations appear more likely to be reconsidered around lease cycles.

Carter's

Carter's has outlined long-term plans to close 150 stores across North America through 2026, according to company investor updates. Some of these closures will likely occur around mid-year lease expirations.

The children's apparel retailer has been working to streamline its physical locations while focusing on profitability. Smaller mall-based locations in lower-traffic areas are more likely to be closed as the company adjusts its long-term strategy.

Walgreens

Walgreens has been moving forward with a big restructuring plan that could involve hundreds of store closures across the U.S. through 2026, according to company filings and the 6 stores already closed in May. Some closures may also take place around June, depending on lease schedules.

The pharmacy chain has cited cost pressures and changing prescription fulfillment habits as key factors in these closures. In certain regions, overlapping stores may be consolidated as Walgreens continues to refine its retail network.

Macy's

Macy's continues a long-term downsizing strategy that includes additional store closures through the end of 2026, according to investor relations updates. Some mall-based locations may close around mid-year lease expirations, potentially including June timing in select regions.

The department store chain has been focusing on stronger-performing flagship stores while scaling back weaker locations. Traditional malls are still the most affected portion of Macy's stores that are closing.

Nordstrom

Nordstrom has been selectively closing underperforming full-line stores and Nordstrom Rack locations. Some closures could possibly match up with mid-2026 lease expirations in June, depending on location performance.

The retailer has been focusing on improving profitability and strengthening digital sales. Older mall-based stores with lower traffic levels are more likely to be reviewed for closure, so keep an eye on your mall.

Best Buy

Best Buy has been gradually reducing smaller locations while investing in larger stores and online fulfillment, according to employee and company updates. Some of these closures are likely to happen during the summer, and possibly in June.

The electronics retailer has not announced an overall shutdown plan, but continues to close individual locations in response to changing consumer buying habits and increased online ordering.

Gap Inc.

Gap Inc., which includes Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy, has been closing select underperforming mall stores as part of its long-term restructuring strategy since 2020, according to corporate filings. Some closures of Gap and its related stores may fall near June this summer.

The company has been prioritizing stronger outlet and digital sales while reducing stores that had weaker mall traffic.

Kohl's

Kohl's has been going through some major changes and may close select underperforming locations through 2026, according to closure statistics. Some closures could match with mid-year lease renewals, depending on performance.

The retailer has been experimenting with new partnerships and store concepts while attempting to stabilize traffic with rising prices and fewer locations.

Foot Locker

Foot Locker has been restructuring its company, closing select underperforming locations while investing in larger "community store" formats. Some closures may fall around June 2026, depending on lease expirations and how well the stores are performing.

The athletic retailer has pointed to shifting sneaker demand and brand consolidation as reasons for its new retail strategy and store shutdowns.

Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree has announced 75 of store closures planned or already underway through 2026. Some closures may occur mid-year, depending on underperforming sales.

The company has indicated that consolidation efforts are intended to strengthen profitability, even as Dollar Tree continues opening select new locations elsewhere and raising its prices.

Bottom line

Retail closures heading into June 2026 seem to be a part of a larger U.S. brick-and-mortar shopping overhaul, especially in pharmacies, department stores, and mall-based retailers. Many of these changes are because of lease cycles and long-term restructuring rather than sudden shutdowns, which may spread closures across several months.

For shoppers, the most noticeable impact may be reduced convenience, particularly for everyday essentials like prescriptions, clothing, and electronics. Paying attention to local store notices and lease announcements could help you avoid unexpected changes during routine shopping trips and stretch your grocery budget.
