On Wednesday, Versa Capital announced plans to close all 222 Avenue stores across 33 states. Everything from clothing to store fixtures will be sold from locations across America, according to a press release. Prices will be slashed by 30-50% off the lowest price on all items.
The Avenue Stores were founded in 1983, originally under the name Sizes Unlimited. The company operates a chain of clothing stores tailored to the plus size woman.
The company’s focus is on women between the ages of 25 and 55 who wear clothing sizes 14 and up. Growing slowly over the years, the company at one time had 500 locations across the US, but closed approximately 120 low performing stores in 2009. Women’s clothing size 14 and up accounted for $16.2 billion in sales in 2013. Avenue Stores was acquired by Versa in 2012 after Avenue’s parent company, United Retail Group, went bankrupt earlier that same year.
Prior to the news about Avenue, retailers had announced more than 7,800 store closures so far in 2019. The sole Tucson Avenue store is not on the list since it had already been sold to a liquidation company prior to the announcement this week.
