Claire's, the tween jewelry and accessories chain, is restructuring under Chapter 11 and will close 235 Claire's locations in the U.S. and 56 Icing stores. Around 830 Claire's and Icing's locations are not expected to close immediately.
Claire's Holdings LLC announced on Aug. 20 that it had sold its business to private equity firm Ames Watson for $104 million, following its bankruptcy filing earlier this month.
This is the second time Claire's has filed for Chapter 11, citing mounting debt, declining mall traffic, tariffs and online competition.
