National retail chain closing its clothing stores across LA, including at the Riverwalk outlets

January 28, 2026 - 00:30

A national women's clothing chain, which has been a fixture in American malls and outlets since 1999, is closing all of its locations across Los Angeles. This includes its store at the popular Riverwalk outlets, marking a significant reduction in its national footprint of over 450 stores.

The closures are part of a broader corporate restructuring effort. The company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a move aimed at addressing financial challenges and allowing it to renegotiate leases and debts. While the brand will continue to operate online, the physical store closures in LA and other select markets are immediate and permanent.

Employees at the affected locations have been notified of the impending closures. The decision underscores the continuing difficulties facing brick-and-mortar retail, particularly in the apparel sector, as consumer habits shift and operational costs remain high. Shoppers are advised to visit stores promptly for final clearance sales as the retailer liquidates its remaining inventory in these areas. The departure leaves noticeable vacancies in several shopping centers, reflecting the ongoing evolution of the retail landscape in Southern California.
