DOZENS of stores will close their doors for good in March and there's just weeks left for shoppers to grab a bargain.
Retailers are being forced to close as they struggle to attract shoppers through their doors.

Households turned to online shopping throughout the pandemic, reducing the demand for brick-and-mortar businesses.
At the same time, inflation has kept prices at an all-time high, making it more and more difficult for Americans to spend their money on additional items.
The U.S. Sun has compiled a list of the retailers that have already announced their upcoming closures in March.
1. BEST BUY
Best Buy will close four stores next month.

All three stores will close for good on March 4, with closing down sales planned.
Branches in St. Joseph, Missouri and Farragut, Tennessee, are also set to close on March 4.
But Best Buy has announced that, unlike the other locations, the closure of its branch in Blaine will only be temporary.
The store, located in Northtown Mall within the suburbs of Minneapolis, is set to reopen again in the summer as a Best Buy outlet.

2. WALMART
Walmart is closing three stores in Chicago because they haven't met their "financial expectations."
The retailer said the stores will close by mid-March.
The first Walmart Pickup closing will be on Friday, February 17, in Lincolnwood, Illinois.
Two more locations in Homewood and Plainfield will close on Friday, March 10.
The store in San Mateo store will also close its doors on March 10.
Many employees who work in the closing locations will be able to transfer to other stores, so they will not be laid off.
