More than 3,600 stores will close in 2018 - here's the full list
AP
Walgreens, Payless, Toys R Us, and Gap are among the many retailers expected to shutter hundreds of stores in 2018.
Some companies' closures will take effect immediately, such as Sears and Kmart, which plan to close a total of 63 stores in January.
Other closures are already underway and could last several months before completion. The children's clothing retailer Gymboree, for example, announced in July that it would close 350 stores. As of November, 248 closures had been carried out.
The following is a list of expected closures next year. As this list grows over the next couple months, we will update it accordingly.
