The struggling clothing retailer Forever 21 appears even closer to a second bankruptcy reports Bloomberg News, with plans to close 200 locations.
News broke Tuesday that the Forever 21 location at Fashion Fair Mall would be among those closing.
The U.S.-based licensee of Forever 21 has been looking for a buyer for some time as sales for the company have lagged. Bloomberg reports part of the bankruptcy process includes the mass closure. The U.S. licensee operates as F21 OpCo.
But, if no qualified buyer emerges, the chain would liquidate its entire 350-store chain, Bloomberg reported.
