These 5 Stores Closing this Year Might Shock You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FSU chapter.

2017 isn’t looking too good for some of your favorite retailers. Lots of stores will be closing all or some of there doors this year, but there’s always some sort of silver lining. With store closes comes a ton of SALES! So here’s a lists of places you need to shop before they’re gone:

1. Nasty Gal

This is sad news for Girl Bosses everywhere. Nasty Gal has filed bankruptcy and will be closing all of its stores this year. But, lots of clothes on the Nasty Gal website have already been marked down to great prices, so get them while you can!

 

2. American Apparel

American Apparel has already shut down their online store and is now selling their clothes at super cheap wholesale prices in store. So if there’s one near you, I highly suggest stopping by!

 

3. Wet Seal

Wet Seal has also shut down their online store and is in the process of closing all of their in store locations (the one in Governor’s Square is already being converted into something new!). But, the website says that this isn’t the end for Wet Seal, so we might have something to look forward to!

Thankfully one of our favorite department stores won’t be closing all of its doors, but they are closing about 100 around the country. They’ve recently posted a list online of all the stores they’re closing (SPOILER ALERT: Tallahassee is keeping ours!). 

 

5. Abercrombie and Fitch

Kiss your favorite middle school hotties goodbye. Abercrombie and Fitch will be closing its doors this year. No more logo shirts?! What will middle-schoolers wear now?!

I'm currently studying Editing Writing & Media and Public Relations at FSU. When I'm not busy, I love scouting out new restaurants, parks and things to do around Tallahassee. And of course I document it all on Instagram! #DoItForTheGram
