Another Retail Favorite Bids Farewell To Clifton Park: Popular Shoe Store Closes For Good

As we near the end of 2025, hopefully, the Capital Region will also end what has been a long string of store and restaurant closings throughout the area all year long.

Since the beginning of the year, we have had a long list of retail locations shutting their doors, including JOANN, Big Lots, Advance Auto Parts, Forever 21, and Dollar General, just to name a few. Just a few short months ago Shoe Dept. in Clifton Park closed, and now another CP shoe store is doing the same.
