store closing
Shop going dark
A store closing is the permanent shutdown of a retail business, often accompanied by liquidation sales advertising steep discounts: Everything must go—store closing!
The phrase appears on signs and in advertising to signal final clearance.
A store closing sale may be genuine or, less scrupulously, a perpetual marketing tactic.
