Express closes stores across the U.S.

The company is joining the growing list of retailers affected by the economic crisis and changes in consumption patterns.

According to The Sun, the decision to close 95 of 553 Express stores across the United States has triggered a wave of reactions.

Many shoppers are unhappy about the situation and are concerned about the future of the company and its employees.

«So sad. They have the best jeans,» commented one customer, highlighting the quality of Express products.

Express locations in Georgia will be among those closing

The company also owns UpWest, and it is expected that the remaining 10 stores under this brand will share the same fate.

This adds even more uncertainty to the situation for employees and consumers, according to The Sun.

Georgia will be particularly affected with the closure of four Express stores in different parts of the state.

This reflects the impact of the 95 closures around the country.

Liquidation sales are already underway

While the exact date that Express will close its stores in Georgia has not been confirmed, shoppers are urged to prepare in advance.

Liquidation sales have already begun, attracting customers looking for discounts.

Express’s decline is not solely a result of the pandemic, as experts indicate that the company has faced previous challenges.

These are related to its lack of variety and its relatively high prices for the quality of its products.

Express closes stores sparking concern among employees

Although Express received $49 million in financial relief through the CARES Act, it was not enough to keep the company afloat.

This has led to the search for investors to acquire its assets and keep the brand alive, according to The Sun.

The uncertainty about the future of the remaining Express stores adds to the concern for the 14,000 employees of the company.

Their jobs could be at risk due to the closures and ongoing restructuring.
