KFC closed 300-plus U.S. stores in past year

KFC permanently closed at least 312 restaurants across the United States between July 15, 2025, and July 6, 2026, representing 7.64% of the chain's over 4,000 locations, according to Local Falcon's analysis comparing KFC's official store directory with Google Maps data. Kansas experienced the largest percentage decline with 21.1% of its KFC restaurants closing, followed by Louisiana at 16.1%, Alabama at 13.4%, and Tennessee at 13.3%. California saw the most closures in raw numbers with 44 locations marked permanently closed, followed by Texas at 34 and Ohio at 18, with California and Texas combined accounting for a quarter of the national total. The closures, averaging roughly six restaurants weekly, reflect broader challenges facing quick-service restaurants as consumers reduce discretionary dining and demand better value, quality, and relevance from restaurant brands.

How the beach boardwalk exemplifies three key retail trends

The beach boardwalk exemplifies three critical retail trends that landlocked and traditional retailers can apply year-round: proximity and convenience, multi-amenity clustering, and experiential entertainment.

First, boardwalks demonstrate the success of convenience-based retail models with proximity-driven pricing, as customers are willing to pay premium prices for quick access to items without leaving their beach location, a strategy successfully replicated by convenience retailers like 7-Eleven and Domino's through mobile delivery.

Second, boardwalks showcase the power of mixed-use, multi-amenity destinations by concentrating diverse offerings—sit-down and quick-service restaurants, convenience and grocery stores, apparel shops, souvenir stands, entertainment venues, and service providers—all in one general area to maximize customer time and spending.

Third, boardwalks emphasize experiential retail through games and entertainment such as skeeball, arcade games, and interactive activities that transform shopping into an entertainment destination, encouraging longer visits and deeper customer engagement beyond transactional purchases.

Saks Global exits bankruptcy; changes name, slashes debt

Saks Global emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 26, 2026, after nearly five months of restructuring and rebranded itself as Exemplar Luxury Group to signal a fresh start and renewed commitment to luxury retail excellence. The company achieved a nearly 75% debt reduction through the bankruptcy process while securing $500 million in new exit financing, with sufficient liquidity to drive long-term profitable growth. The restructured company reduced its store footprint from approximately 115 locations to just 49 stores, closing 62 off-price locations including 57 Saks OFF 5th stores and all five Neiman Marcus Last Call outlets. The new entity operates three flagship banners—Saks Fifth Avenue with 15 stores, Neiman Marcus with 33 locations, and Bergdorf Goodman—and is led by CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck with a reconstituted board including representatives from investment firms Pentwater Capital Management and Bracebridge Capital.
