Does anyone know why Disney stores are closing in Missouri? Is this a local thing or is it all over?

http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/id ... 7420080501 NEW YORK (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) has repurchased its North American Disney Store chain from Children's Place Retail Stores Inc (PLCE.O), the companies said on Thursday.
Disney said it bought back 220 locations in the United States and Canada. Terms were not disclosed. The final number of acquired stores will depend on the outcome of negotiations with landlords, it said.

Disney also obtained the right to close about 100 stores.
