Closings

UPS is ready to reduce its workforce with plans to close more than 100 buildings before the end of the year.

Another 20 Illinois banks are now closing branch locations as fewer people use the brick and mortar financial places.

JCPenney is shutting down more locations, but Rockford's CherryVale Mall store remains untouched, for now.

It appears there will soon be two more vacant buildings in Illinois as a document submitted to the state indicates medical and social service facilities are closing which will result in 157 being out of work in March.

There are four banks in Illinois that have reportedly just announced they are closing their doors forever.

An auto parts retailer with thousands of stores across the U.S. has announced plans to close locations as it attempt to improve its business.

If you happened to eat at a certain Illinois steakhouse recently, you should know that there are 70 people who have fallen ill including many serious enough to be hospitalized after eating there.

It has not been a great year for restaurants and it doesn't appear to be improving yet. There are multiple reports that a very popular food chain with 31 Illinois locations has plans to close 35 restaurants in 2024.

I must admit that these confirmed reports surprised me. It's one of the more common food chain brands in Wisconsin, but the company is reportedly planning to close 35 locations this year.

There have been a rash of bank closings over the past few weeks and that now includes a national chain with many locations in Illinois that has closed dozens of branches elsewhere.
