PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — At least 38 Disney stores across the U.S. are set to permanently close their doors by Tuesday, including the location in the Clackamas Town Center.
On March 3, Disney announced it plans to focus on its e-commerce business and will close at least 60 stores in North America by the end of 2021.
The Clackamas Town Center location is one of the early closures. Disney’s store locator shows the store will close on or before Tuesday, March 23.
KOIN 6 News reached out to the Clackamas Town Center for comment but has not yet heard back.
So far, it appears the Disney Store Outlet at the Woodburn Premium Outlets will remain open. Also, the two Disney Stores and the Disney Store Outlet in Washington are not included in the stores that will close by Tuesday.
In its March 3 press release, Disney said it is focusing on providing “a more seamless, personalized and franchise-focused ecommerce experience through its shopDisney platform.” The company said it plans to integrate the platform more into its Disney Parks apps and social media platforms.
“The global pandemic has changed what consumers expect from a retailer,” Stephanie Young, president of consumer products games and publishing, said in a statement. “Over the past few years, we’ve been focused on meeting consumers where they are already spending their time, such as the expansion of Disney store shop-in-shops around the world. We now plan to create a more flexible, interconnected ecommerce experience that gives consumers easy access to unique, high-quality products across all our franchises.”
Disney said it plans to continue operating more than 600 stores inside and outside its parks and through third-party retailers around the world.
