It's March 17th in Birmingham. Let's get into the news. Francesca's, the popular women's clothing and accessories chain that's been a mall favorite for 25 years, has filed for Chapter 11, bankruptcy in New Jersey back in February. The filing means they're closing more than 450 stores across 45 states, including nine locations in Alabama in places like Birmingham, Huntsville, and Mobile. As of early March, 254 stores were still open, but now the going out of business sales are in their final weeks with discounts up to 70% on everything in the stores, plus fixtures. Shoppers are rushing in for deals ahead of spring events, though all sales are final with no returns accepted on gift cards, credits, or loyalty. Rewards. The website still lists store locations, but there are no online sales anymore. Liquidators are bringing in extra inventory from warehouses and the now closed e-commerce side, including items not usually sold there, so it's worth. A second visit for fresh stock. No exact closing date has been set yet.
The Houston-based chain started in 1999, went through bankruptcy once before, in 2020, and was sold the next year for $18 million. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. Press play. Put your head down. The sound is already there. S-O-L-I-S-O-L-Pillow.com. Made in AI.
