Disney has announced plans to significantly reduce its brick-and-mortar footprint, beginning with the closure of at least 60 Disney Stores across North America as the retailer bolsters its ecommerce operation.
The company currently operates approximately 300 Disney Stores worldwide; Disney has not yet shared which locations will be impacted. The closures are the first step in a total re-evaluation of the retailer’s global brick-and-mortar footprint. Additional closures, particularly in Europe, are likely, according to CNBC.
