Everlane announced on March 14 that it will close its stores.

  • A total of 11 major US retailers have announced they will temporarily close their doors for at least the next two weeks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the US.
  • Most of these companies - which range from mall brands like Urban Outfitters to major athletic retailers like Nike - have confirmed they will pay employees for lost shifts during this period.
  • $4.

In an unprecedented move for US retailers, many are opting to indefinitely shut their doors to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in the US.

Though companies like $4, several major retailers are electing to fully cease physical store operations as $4 in the country continue to rise. On Friday, $4 and $4 both announced that they will close stores, prompting a flood of retailers to follow suit over the weekend, including mall brands like Abercrombie & Fitch and Urban Outfitters and athletic companies like Nike.

In most cases, employees are being compensated for the lost shifts, pointing to how the global pandemic has $4 for retail workers on the front lines. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus in the US, companies like Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Trader Joe's have all implemented new protections for workers for the first time.
