<h3>Are individual store closures included, or only full chain shutdowns?</h3><p>Both. Full chain liquidations, partial fleet reductions (e.g. closing 50 of 200 stores), and individual flagship or anchor store closures are tracked where publicly announced.</p><h3>Are closures driven by a digital pivot included?</h3><p>Yes. Closures where a brand exits physical retail to focus on e-commerce are included and noted in the event type field.</p><h3>How does CatchAll's data compare to tracking company press releases directly?</h3><p>CatchAll aggregates closure announcements across all retailers simultaneously, including announcements that surface first in local news or bankruptcy filings rather than company press releases – giving a more complete picture than monitoring individual brand communications.</p><h3>What is the refresh rate of this dataset?</h3><p>We rerun this dataset once a month. You can create your own dataset that updates as frequently as every one hour on <a href="https://platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall">platform.newscatcherapi.com/catchall</a></p>
