PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – At least 38 Disney stores in the US will permanently close their doors by Tuesday.
On March 3, Disney announced that it would focus on its e-commerce business and close at least 60 locations in North America by the end of 2021.
In its March 3 press release, Disney said it is focused on “delivering a more seamless, personalized, and franchise-centric e-commerce experience through its shopDisney platform”. The company plans to integrate the platform more closely with its Disney Parks apps and social media platforms.

“The global pandemic has changed consumer expectations of a retailer,” said Stephanie Young, president of games and publications for consumer products, in a statement. “In recent years we’ve focused on meeting consumers where they already spend their time, such as expanding the shop-in-shops in Disney stores around the world. We now plan to create a more flexible, interconnected e-commerce experience that will give consumers easy access to unique, high quality products across all of our franchises. ”
