  "account": "Specialty clothing retailer Scrubs & Beyond announced it will close all 115 of its locations across 30 states and transition to a fully digital-only operation. The company primarily sells scrubs for use in hospitals and other medical facilities. The shift to an all-online model aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for convenience and time-saving products. According to a Morgan Stanley survey, 77% of U.S. consumers cited convenience as a key factor in their purchasing decisions, with 68% agreeing that online shopping saves them time. Scrubs & Beyond's success is attributed to its focus on simplifying the shopping experience for consumers, particularly those who know their sizes and do not require precise fits. The company did not provide a reason for its closure, but its website now prominently features a message stating that all retail stores are closing.",
