Amarillo Closing 2024

As we are making our way to Christmas and New Year's in Amarillo there are businesses that are deciding to close their doors. It's been a rough year and we have seen several restaurants and businesses just decide to close up.

One of Walgreen's slogans used to be "At the corner of happy and healthy" because you could always find Walgreens on a major corner on a busy street. Then we found out that Walgreens had taken a hit and was going to be closing a bunch of stores.

As we are getting closer to celebrating the holidays in Amarillo another business shuts its doors. This year has not been good as we have seen several restaurants and businesses close down.

It's been reported that Walgreens has to close some stores. It didn't affect anything in Amarillo at first. It seemed out of the several that we had. I think I counted about eight in Amarillo. It seemed that Amarillo was doing fine. Until it wasn't.

There are different reasons that a local restaurant may close. They may be hurting for business. There is also maybe the fact that your location is either not good or maybe needs a lot of work done. This has been the case for some eating places.

Some businesses here in Amarillo make it and some don't. Some try really hard. They may move locations. They may run specials. They may try everything that they can and in the end, it is all the same. Another closed business in Amarillo.

The thought was that maybe Amarillo was about to slow down a bit with all of the openings and closings. I mean just for a few days. It would be nice to give us some time to try to digest everything that has come and gone in the past few months. It's been a bit of a whirlwind.

It seems like 2024 has been the year of closed businesses in Amarillo. This is not the kind of thing we want to see. There have been restaurants that have quickly closed their doors. Oh, and there have been stores as well. What is going on this year?

In a world where streaming seems to be the way of the world, this can't come as too much of a surprise. The Redbox Kiosks are all going away. Just like the Hastings went away. Just like the Blockbusters went away. Just like Netflix's DVD service went away. Now it is Redbox's turn.

There are not a lot of businesses in Amarillo that can brag about longevity in our area. There are so many businesses that come and go. They open with such high hopes. They make it for a while but sadly then they close their doors.

The south Amarillo staple had been open for just a year.

Amarillo's Westgate Mall has once again lost another place to eat in the food court. It was not that long ago when two other places shut down. Now a month later it has happened again.
