The giant UPS confirmed in the delivery that it would close three of its famous stores in only days – and warned that up to 75 others could be in the queue.
The stores are located soon in Dallas, Dixon City and Honsale, all of which are located in the northeast of Pennsylvania.

Dave McQueen, the concession, for a long time, confirmed the news on Tuesday, but he refused to give a reason, instead in referring all questions to the UPS public relations team.
“We can confirm that the UPS stores in Dallas, Dixon City and Honsaled are closing,” said Mia Gonzalez, a UPS spokeswoman.
She added that the closures were “due to the end of the concession agreements, and the concession was elected not to renew.”
Close operations come amid the increasing uncertainty of UPS customers, as the company has already announced in April that it plans to reduce about 20,000 jobs for the company and close more than 70 facilities in 2025, citing the increasing tariffs and economic pressure.
The Dallas website, based in the 62nd Dallas Shopping Center, is scheduled to be closed on June 23, according to my employees.
The workers at Dixon City in Min Street and the Honsale Store on the Texas Palra Highway's highway were refused to give an appointment.
According to McQueen, who was also running several pets supplies in addition to stores in the area, looking for a buyer for some time.
Despite his efforts, the last deal is said to have collapsed due to financing issues.
Rob Vinola, the owner of the Dallas website and CEO of Humford Equits, moved to Facebook for more light.
He claimed that the concession owner, McQueen, was asked to sign a 10-year renewal contract with costly renewal operations-a step “84-year-old” who was unwilling to achieve it.
“He was looking for buyers for a few years, but a recent deal was funded,” Venlay said.
“We hope that the buyer can at the last minute to intervene … It was a pleasure to use the store myself, and I can bear witness to their employees and their great service.”
FINLAY added that UPS was pressing McQueen either to sign a long -term agreement or close.
Meanwhile, he was working in a lease contract from month to month while he was hoping to take over the buyer.
“The Dallas store has been a rented and great partner since 1994,” Vinola said.
“The owner was a full man throughout this process, and I am sorry for the employees who will be affected.”
The local reaction was quickly and emotionally, as residents and small business owners participate in social media.
A Facebook user said: “I love Dickson UPS when I had my little shop, they were amazing there and always very useful!”
Another added: “Wow, it is sad to see them closing.”
The closure is especially painful for small companies that depend on the services of the UPS store for shipping, printing and post boxes.
Unlike access points or basic decline funds, full UPS stores provide more comprehensive and supportive services.
Other UPS stores will remain in the area – including Edwardzville, Hazleton, Wyoming, Dunmor and Clacks – open at the present time.
However, customers are letting them wondering whether more closure will follow up with major discounts in UPS in 2025.
Although Gonzalez insisted that this closure has nothing to do with reducing the size of companies, it has sparked eyebrows.
Previously, UPS blames a “new or increasing tariff” and “economic conditions” in its dramatic plans that were announced earlier this year.
At the present time, residents of the northeast of Pennsylvania are preparing to lose three long -term stores, hoping that someone will take the doors to be closed forever.
US brackets for “45, 000 stores”
Experts have warned that about 45,000 bricks and junior stores could be closed in the next five years.
Several major retailers have announced the closure of the stores or have completely worked out in recent years.
In 2023, chains such as Foot Locker announced plans to close up to 400 outlets by 2026.
Meanwhile, other well -known retailers such as Tuesday morning and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams offer bankruptcy in 2023.
Bed Bath & Beyond closed all its brick and mortar stores and is now online retail.
The most affected retailers have been the most affected clothes, consumer electronics, sports commodities, hobby, book, music and home furniture stores since the beginning of 2019.
UBS predicted that the total number of retail stores will decrease by 45 thousand from 958 kilos to 913 kilos.
Nevertheless, the report says that some stores should flourish while others decrease.
She said retailers like Walmart, Costco, Home Depot and Target could be among the winners.
