The New Jersey-based company's 514 stores and online site remain open for now. A company spokesperson told ABC News that some stores are expected to close. Those with gift cards and store rewards are encouraged to redeem them now while they remain valid.
The store is also holding a "total inventory blowout" with everything 25 to 60% off both in-store and online, according to The Children's Place website.
