In the five years sincethe opening of Colson’s, a non-discount department store, a new store hasopened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete withColson’s.
that closed 中的that指代的是Colson's还是a new store呢？
我觉得这句话的意思可能是：自从C（不打折商店）开业5年之内，新的商店会在倒闭商店的址上开张，因为新商店不会与c竞争。

我的理解是that 指代 every store。 这句话意思是colson's---一个非打折商店----开了之后的5年内，每个因为竞争不过colson而倒闭的商店店面，都会被新的商店接手。

先感谢一下~~按照你的说话，后面的it指代的也是every store 啦？

it = every store that closed.
