J Crew Closing At Destiny USA

This is the last holiday season for J Crew at Destiny USA in Syracuse.

J Crew has announced they're closing the Destiny USA store along with 37 others at the end of January. CNN Money says the latest round of closings stem from a $161 million loss this year and the popularity of online shopping. "More stores have closed this year than any year on record -- 6,700 through the end of October, according to Fung Global Retail & Technology, a retail think tank. The previous high was about 6,100 in 2008, during the Great Recession."

The Destiny USA store is slated to close Jan. 27, according to store workers. Syracuse.com reports a petition has been started to keep J Crew open in Syracuse and has been signed by 85 people so far.
