Ohio Store Closings: 38 Justice, 1 Ann Taylor Locations

CLEVELAND — Ohio will lose 38 Justice stores and one Ann Taylor factory store, according to a recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

Ascena, the parent company of clothing retailers including Justice, Lane Bryant, Ann Taylor, LOFT, Catherine's, Lou & Grey and Cacique, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week, announcing plans to close about half of its 2,800 stores, including 76 Ann Taylor, LOFT and Lou & Grey stores, more than 600 Justice stores and all Catherine's plus-size clothing store locations.

Disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company said the last few months negatively impacted "meaningful progress" toward getting the company back on track financially.

The Ann Taylor factory store at the Cincinnati Premium Outlets will be shuttered as part of the bankruptcy, according to Business Insider.

According to USA today, the closings include 38 Justice stores across Ohio. The "tween" clothing store, which caters to girls ages 6 to 12, has more than 800 stores across the country.
