Other locations include Concord, Calif.; Hyattsville, Md.; Bay Shore and Poughkeepsie, N.Y., as well as Omak and Sunnyside, Wash.

These closures are in addition to the brand’s 136 stores that have already started “going-out-of-business” sales. In all, the company’s broader plan reportedly includes the permanent closure of 242 locations.
