Some are restructuring. And not necessarily via chapter 11. 7/11 is closing several low performing stores, but not going out of business. They are planning newer, smaller stores.

Family Dollar is closing several stores for the same reason, but is not going out of business. New, smaller stores again.

Dollar General is closing a small number compared to the other 2 companies and is expanding.
.
The closings will hurt the employees and their families and communities at locations that are shutting down. But those companies are not going out of busines
