Francesca’s
Last year, the women’s clothing retailer revealed its plans to shutter some 140 stores before February 2021. In December, Francesca’s declared bankruptcy and shared its plans to sell off its brick-and-mortar stores and other aspects of the company. USA Today reported that there are 558 current stores in operation, although its statement to the news outlet said that there are “plans to renegotiate a variety of leases through this process, which could entail closing new boutiques.”

Thanks to Signet Jewelers, we get Kay Jewelers, Piercing Pagoda, Zales, and Jared The Galleria Of Jewelry across the globe. Sadly, many locations are going to sign off within the year. In 2020, it confirmed that at least 150 outlets in North America would not be reopened. They were initially closed in the spring because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On top of that, 150 stores were set to shutter before March 2021.
