Massachusetts has seen several business closures over the past year. Bed, Bath and Beyond, Christmas Tree Shops, Walgreens, and Rite Aid have all suffered closures. Some of these companies have completely gone out of business while others are attempting to reformat and keep the doors open. Still, many locations are shutting their doors.
