Methodology summary for this and each subsequent table in this report:
1. Coresight Research attributes store openings and closures to the year in which they occurred or are expected to occur.
2. As companies have different fiscal year-ends, total store count information for most public retailers in the list above is based on reported counts from either the third or fourth quarter of their fiscal 2023. Total store count information for private retailers in the list above is based on reported counts from December 2023.
“Confirmed” closures/openings are those confirmed to have taken place to date (such as through retrospective reporting and our tracking of store counts including through ChainXY data); “planned” closures/openings are those announced but not yet confirmed to have taken place.

Tables show the 50 retailers closing/opening the most stores in the year. Some tables may include slightly more than 50 retailers where a number of retailers have an equivalent number of closures/openings and a year-in progress table may contain fewer than 50.
Total base count: Store counts are for the period closest to the end of the prior calendar year without rolling into the current calendar year. As companies have different fiscal year-ends, store count information for most public retailers in the list above is based on reported counts from either their third or fourth fiscal quarters. Store-count information for private retailers in the list above is based on reported counts from December in the prior year.
