Iconic department store closes all locations

Growing up in the '80s, going to a department store was a ritual that felt important. Whether my family needed to buy a new set of dishes or an Easter dress for me to wear to an event, it was likely we would all pile into the car and head to JCPenney or Macy's.

While it's hard to say what exactly changed the department store from an event the whole family enjoyed to something not even on the radar, it's likely that the advent of online shopping slowly lured people away over the years.
