Clothing strewn on the ground at a Manhattan JCPenney - a common sign at struggling retailers across the industry.

The retail apocalypse has descended on America. 

More than 3,500 stores are expected to close across the US in the next couple of months. 

Department stores like Macy's, Sears, and JCPenney, and retailers including BCBG, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Bebe have all been forced to close up dozens of stores.

Here's photographic proof that a retail apocalypse is hitting the US hard.
