After being acquired by TJX, the parent company of Marshalls and TJ Maxx , in 2003, it changed hands again in 2008, ending up with private equity firms.

The retail landscape is witnessing a spike in store closures nationwide in 2024, as businesses grapple with bankruptcy woes and the toll of inflation on consumers.
