I wonder if they'll close the one in Shoprite Plaza in Southington, Connecticut. It's been slow for a number of years now. Plus with CVS no longer selling cigarettes, the store is even slower. I think this location will have been open for 30 years in 2017. That part of the plaza was built in 1987.

I suspect it will be pretty scattered (after all, closing 70 locations over all the states they are in is only one or two per state).

Does seem, though, that a spot like you mention could be one targeted - being that age, they could be coming to a point of renewing a lease (probably for a higher price) and not want to do that if it doesn't do well overall.  No guarantees, though.

So far these are the locations are confirmed closed. More soon.
