  Seen it a handful of times while reading and it seems mostly to be used like "to close up shop for the day," though according to jisho.org, it could also be closing a shop forever/going out of business.
  
  As for using it with verbs, according to my Japanese friend, seems like it's not really used used without the する。Given the example:
  
  「昨日、閉店するのが少し早かったね。」
  
  That sentence would apparently sound a little weird if phrased as 「昨日、閉店は少し早かったね。」

  i learned this from a youtube video a few years ago; apparently you can say "閉店ガラガラ" to rudely shut down somebody trying to talk to you. (ガラガラ is a shutter sound)
