Key National Retail Insights for March 2026

• Supply Chain: Major grocery chains have reported “final shipments” for several specific canned and long-shelf-life items (e.g., specific brands of canned olives and evaporated milk) as supply chain priorities shift this month.

• Permanent Closures: The “Retail Apocalypse” remains active. Macy’s and Kroger are continuing their multi-year downsizing plans throughout 2026, so please verify if your local “underperforming” branch is on the Q1 list.

• Banks: While branches are open today, major institutions like Wells Fargo and PNC are continuing to shutter select physical locations in favor of digital-first banking centers.
