Store vacancies open opportunities
Between 2015 and 2021, on an annual basis, store closures exceeded openings
by approximately 16,000 according to Coresight Research. Last year physical
store openings exceeded closings for the first time since 2016. Retailers
are anticipated to open even more stores this year than last, about 1,400.
A big driver of new store openings is shoppers seeking bargains, especially
at dollar stores. In this order, the top six retailers opening stores in
2022 were dollar chains and discounters, including Dollar General, Family
Dollar, Dollar Tree, Five Below, TJX Cos., and Aldi.
Many stores that closed between 2015 and 2021 were large, such as
department stores and big box stores. A large share of retailers leasing
vacant stores last year and this are the dollar stores, which are small, in
the 8,000-12,000 square foot range. This indicates that there are still a
large number of vacant bigger stores. Those in good markets offer an
opportunity for new location-based entertainment venues to lease them.
