3 Hudson County Stores In National Chain Will Close Due To Bankruptcy

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — The Children's Place, a national chain of kiddie clothing retailers, will close all 24 of its New Jersey stores — including two in Hudson County.

As reported in Patch, the company, which is headquartered in Secaucus, filed for bankruptcy on Sunday.

On Friday, the company issued state Worker Adjustment and Retraining (WARN) notices, saying they'd lay off as may as 732 employees by Feb. 4 of next year.

Approximately 732 employees stand to lose their jobs, the WARN notice states.

For the past 20 years, the 60-year-old company has struggled with less foot traffic, declining birth rates, and other issues, reports say.

These stores will close in Hudson County:

• Bergenline Avenue, West New York
• Newport Centre Mall, Jersey City

Several stores at malls in Bergen County will also close (see the list here).
