Businesses closing in Texas is never a good thing.

People possibly lose their favorite place to shop, and individuals who work in the place of business no longer have a job. It's simply a sad situation all around. So we always frequent those places to keep them open, and make sure it keeps providing for many.

Recently, one retailer known as The Body Shop closed all its locations in the Lone Star State due to bankruptcy. But another major organization is set to close many across the nation, but there's a caveat.
