I know there are a couple of stores in my area, but I have never been in one.  Sounds like it's another retailer  blaming COVID when brick and mortar stores have all been losing money well before the virus hit.

I went there first, then my wife and her sister.

My wife described it as perfect for women's business wear.

For years I bought business wear there. Hate to lose them.

Not 100% up to date with their business model, but the data shows they were struggling before the pandemic. 
Another Amazon Brick and Mortar inflicted casualty so to say.  With a double whammy of COVID-19.

Look for them to appear again in six months under a different name.

That's an important market niche.  The ultimate bargain to get them in the store and let the impulse buying begin.

I sure hope you are right. America needs unrestricted sales outlets to compete with one another,provide job options,and guarantee a broad selection of merchandise in order to remain free and prosperous.
