Big-box operators like Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, DSW, Old Navy and Party City were among the national chains that paid no rent or only a fraction of it. Movie theater operators and gyms also failed to pay, including 24 Hour Fitness, AMC, Cinepolis, LA Fitness and Regal. Mall-based stores are among those that missed May rent, as well, including Bath & Body Works, Claire’s, Famous Footwear, Foot Locker, H&M, Kirkland’s, Gap and Supercuts.

The May rent-collection rate falls far short of May 2019 but marks an improvement over April 2020. In March 2020, landlords collected 91.4 percent of the total rent roll: 95 percent of the national-tenant roll and 88 percent of the non-national-tenant rent roll.
