There are many businesses still feeling the effects of the pandemic a couple of years ago and have been forced to select certain locations to close across the country. Despite heavy population and steady business, some popular stores have decided to close in California this year, and it has many feeling upset.

As sad as it is to see many of these stores closing, the good news is that in California, you can often drive to a nearby town and find another one. In the case of some, that are closing permanently, it is sad to see them go, but it opens up the opportunity to perhaps find a new place you have never discovered.
