Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO), an international mall retailer that focuses on teen fashion, has filed for bankruptcy, according to reports. Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO) bankruptcy details including the details of the store closing.
The chain said it will close 113 stores in the United States and 41 in Canada in an effort to “achieve long-term financial stability.” The company has about 800 stores total internationally.
The move will force the closure of the chain’s store at the Mall at Stonecrest, according to a closure list on Fortune magazine’s website. The company also has stores at Lenox Square and Cumberland, Perimeter and Southlake malls. A store at the Shoppes of River Crossing in Macon will also close, according to the Forbes list.
Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO) is the latest chain troubled by a turbulent retail environment that is struggling against increased online shopping and changing consumer habits. Athletics giant Sports Authority also is closing stores while it undergoes bankruptcy proceedings.
Whether it was market conditions or the behavior of their lenders that drove Aeropostale (NYSE:ARO) into bankruptcy, the teen-oriented clothing retailer has difficult decisions to make about which stores to keep and which to close. They’ve already decided on a preliminary closing list.
However, since how liquidation sales normally work is that prices get hiked back up to the original retail price and then gradually lowered, don’t expect any sales on jeans, sweaters, and t-shirts if there’s a closing store near you for a little while yet. Also, keep in mind that the employees working the liquidation sale are normally store employees who are about to lose their jobs. Be nice to them. We reformatted the closings list from the original court document: you can sort the list by state, city, or mall name if you feel so inclined.
