Here’s the List of U.S. Stores Aeropostale Plans to Close

Aeropostale is seeking the “prompt closure” of 154 locations following the teen retailer’s chapter 11 filing Wednesday, about one-fifth of its store base.

The company hopes to reorganize in bankruptcy after a string of losses and a dispute with a vendor owned by its main lender, as The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week. A key part of its turnaround plan is to close 154 of its 770 stores, Aeropostale said in court papers Wednesday.

The shops to be closed imminently range across the U.S. and Canada, include three each in Alaska and Hawaii, according to court papers. They include 117 unprofitable outlets and generated $17 million in losses for the retailer’s latest fiscal year.

The teen retailer’s bankruptcy filing follows similar moves by a host of mall-based retail chains in recent years, including surfwear sellers Pacific Sunwear of California and Quiksilver Inc. and women’s formalwear chain Cache

Here’s a list of the 113 U.S. stores the company plans to close first.
