Disney to close at least 60 of its stores in North America

CNN– Disney is closing at least 60 of its stores by the end of the year. The Walt Disney company said it is dramatically downsizing its chain of Disney Stores in North America by about 35%, due to more people shopping online, because of the pandemic.

A large number of stores around the world are also expected to close.

At its peak in 1999, there were nearly 800 Disney Stores globally.
