Gymboree Sets Closing Date For Warrington Store

WARRINGTON, PA — If you buy children's clothing at Gymboree, better head over to the Shops at Valley Square by the end of next month. That's when the retailer will be closing its Warrington location.

Tony Black, General Manager of the Shops at Valley Square, confirmed the store would be closing at the end of March.

In January, Gymboree filed for bankruptcy for a second time in two years, announcing it would close its remaining 900 stores.

Its store at the Penns Purchase outlets near Peddler's Village closed in 2017. Gymboree also has a store at the Oxford Valley Mall, which will also close.

The company first filed for bankruptcy in July 2017 and closed 350 stores. At the time, President and CEO Daniel Griesemer said in a statement that closing those stores would allow the company to "continue to deliver quality merchandise and superior service to our customers."

Like many brick-and-mortar stores, Gymboree has struggled to remain afloat against increased online competition.
