Catherines plus-size retailer to permanently close all of its stores in bankruptcy. See the list.

Plus-size retailer Catherines will permanently shutter all of its 320 bricks-and-mortar stores but plans to continue as an online-only store.

The upcoming closures were announced as parent company Ascena Retail Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Thursday.

The New Jersey-based company said it has reached an agreement to sell Catherines' intellectual property and transition its e-commerce business to City Chic Collective Limited.

Ascena also operates 2,800 stores across Justice, Lane Bryant, Ann Taylor Loft, Lou & Grey and Cacique. More than 1,600 stores could close across all the brands, court records show.

"It is with a very heavy heart that we must let you know that we will be closing all of our Catherines stores," a letter to customers said. "The COVID-19 global pandemic has had a tremendous financial impact on our business and it saddens us to make this difficult decision."

Gift cards and store credit cards will continue to be accepted online, the company said.

According to court records, SB360 Capital Partners will manage Catherines' going-out-of-business liquidation sales as well as the closing sales at its sister brands. SB360 managed Charlotte Russe's 2019 liquidation and is currently handling Modell's Sporting Goods' closing sales.

Like other apparel retailers with a heavy commitment to shopping malls, Ascena was grappling with declining foot traffic long before the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to an increase of retailers filing for bankruptcy.

As many as 25,000 stores could shutter this year as businesses continue to feel the impacts of the pandemic, according to a recent report from Coresight Research.

Brooks Brothers, Lucky Brand, J.C. Penney, Neiman Marcus, Sur La Table and J. Crew have all filed for Chapter 11 since May.
