#14: Party City
Party City likes to tout itself as “the largest party retailer in North America,” according to its website. But are they really doing that well nowadays? Modern-day competition is way too fierce for such a huge store to stay in business. Many people are still surprised to learn that Party City is still open.
Amazon and other online retailers offer faster, cheaper options than Party City. Also, the stores rarely have what you need in stock. Why drive all the way to the store only to come out empty-handed? While Party City has closed several stores in recent years, they’re still holding on. It’s very unfortunate because shopping for party supplies in person can be a lot of fun.
