said Wednesday that 55% of U.S. businesses on the platform marked “temporary closed” are now “permanently closed,” a shocking statistic as local establishments likely struggle to stay afloat with social distance restrictions, mandatory closures and fearful consumers....

Las Vegas is the U.S. city with the most permanently closed businesses due to the drop in tourism, Yelp said. On a slightly positive note, the number of temporarily closed businesses has decreased by 14% from June.Restaurants are the most-closed businesses with 26,160 closures nationwide, though retail establishments are a close second at 26,119.
