Francesca's is Liquidating & Closing These 237 Stores By Jan. 31

Francesca’s is closing more stores.

The young women’s fashion retailer had closed 20 stores last year, and then the coronavirus pandemic hit. Francesca’s tried to raise funds to help cover their $33 million in debt, but ultimately they had to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

There aren’t plans to shut down the company, though; Francesca’s has a buyer, and expects to complete their sale by the end of January 2021. In the meantime, stores gotta close.

Here’s what you need to know:

 

Francesca’s is closing 1/3 of their stores by Jan. 31.

On Nov. 16, Francesca’s announced they’d be closing 140 of their stores. That’s about 20% of the company’s 700 stores.

But after filing for bankruptcy, Francesca’s announced they’d be closing another 97 locations, increasing the cut to 33.8%.
