Many clothing retailers have announced store closures in the past year, and the coronavirus pandemic has led to even more.
Victoria's Secret recently announced it would be closing up to 250 stores.
JCPenney filed for bankruptcy in May and is closing 154 stores this summer.

Once highly popular clothing stores are facing mass closures. Though some retailers were already struggling due to a rise in online shopping, the coronavirus pandemic grinded in-store shopping to a halt, leaving those without well-developed e-commerce businesses in serious trouble, according to Forbes.

JCPenney has filed for bankruptcy after being unable to make payments and falling deeper into debt.

Victoria's Secret was already in decline before the pandemic, and announced in May that it plans to close up to 250 stores in the US and Canada.
