Teen fashion retailer Rue21 is making it hard to figure out which of its stores are closing. So we’ve put together a list based on our own reporting and from other sources on the Web.
The chain plans to close up to 400 stores, the Associated Press reports, out of 1,218 in 48 states.
“It’s true – we are closing some stores,” Rue21 tweeted to followers over the weekend. “It was a difficult but necessary decision.”
The chain marked “closing store” on many of the locatiions in its online index, but on Tuesday afternoon, the designations disappeared. Could the chain have changed its mind about the closures? Officials didn’t offer comment on why they would tell patrons a store was closing, then later remove the designation.
Here’s a partial list of stores that are believed to be closing:
