East Brunswick Charlotte Russe Store Will Close: Report

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — Clearly, America's retail apocalypse is far from over: The trendy teen and women's clothing company Charlotte Russe announced this past Sunday, Feb. 3 that they are filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and closing 94 of their stores across the country.

The company's East Brunswick store in the Brunswick Square Mall is on that list, according to the company.

Charlotte Russe operates approximately 500 stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The company will be closing 94 of them as they enter bankruptcy proceedings, the company announced in a press release this week. Three of those stores are in New Jersey. Patch was provided a list of all 94 stores across the U.S. that will close, and the three New Jersey stores that will close are:

Atlantic City: 122 Christopher Columbus Blvd.
East Brunswick: 755 Rt. 18
Moorestown: 400 Route 38

However, if a buyer cannot be found by Feb. 17, the company will completely liquidate, closing all 500 stores, according to USA Today. Charlotte Russe also owns and operates 10 Peek stores across the U.S., a children's clothing store.

So far in 2019, this is the second store at Brunswick Square Mall scheduled to go out of business: The Charlotte Russe bankruptcy news comes on the heels of news last month that the Crazy 8 at Brunswick Square will close. Crazy 8 is owned by parent company Gymboree, which is currently undergoing bankruptcy liquidation. All Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores will close this spring, the company said, including the nearby Gymboree at the Shoppes at North Brunswick.
