The bear is more afraid of you than you should be of it

Do not try outrun a bear. The bear is more afraid of you than you should be of it. What does "be of it." here mean?

They're closing their shop

We were shopping at the mall. It's late and all the shops were starting to close. "They're closing." "They're closing their shop." Will the second sentence mean the shop is bankrupt?
