QVC, the largest home shopping network in the United States, has been struggling recently. The company has announced that it is closing its doors for good on September 30th. This comes as a surprise to many because QVC has been in business for over 40 years. In fact, it was founded by two sisters, Pat and Joan Robertson. The reason why QVC is struggling is likely due to a number of factors. One is that the industry has changed dramatically over the past few years. Shopping at physical stores has become more difficult and expensive, while online shopping has become more popular. Additionally, online retailers have begun to offer a wider variety of products than traditional brick-and-mortar stores can offer. This has made it difficult for QVC to compete with these competitors. QVC also faces competition from other networks such as Walmart and Sears. These companies have begun to sell their own versions of home shopping networks that are much easier to navigate and cheaper than QVC. This may be why QVC is planning to close its doors completely – it cannot keep up with these new competitors
