Four more stores in Southern California will also be closing according to a list updated by the company on Tuesday. This round of closures will include stores in Chula Vista, Valencia, Buena Park and La Habra.
The company says it may also need to file for bankruptcy due to “weakening sales.”
The retailer is laying off employees across corporate, supply chain and retail stores, CEO Sue Gove said this week in an email to employees, CNBC reported.
As of February 2022, the company had about 32,000 employees, according to CNBC.
Other California stores slated to close (or have already closed) include: Antioch, San Leandro, Larkspur, San Jose, Vallejo, Redding, Sacramento and Marina.
