If you grew up hanging around the neighborhood mall, seeking out the trendiest low-rise jeans and tanks, you might feel nostalgically bummed today. Express, the clothing brand that was uber-popular with Xennials and millennials, has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Express, Inc. operates Express stores, as well as Express factory outlets, Bonobos, and UpWest stores. The retailer said it plans to shutter more than 100 stores, including all of its UpWest stores and at least 95 of its 500 Express stores in the U.S., effective Tuesday.
A representative pointed Fast Company to a court document that displays the full list of Express stores to be closed. Locations span the entire U.S., with multiple closures in California and New York, as well as Pennsylvania, Texas, and other states.
