A national clothing retailer that informed customers that it has closed its store in the Southern Park Mall, now says its not yet closed.

The Limited sent out an email with the following message at around noon on Thursday:

“This isn't goodbye... Although our store at the Southern Park has closed permanently, we're open 24/7 at TheLimited.com.”

The recipient is directed to the company website to locate another store, the nearest of which is the one in the Eastwood Mall.

21 News called The Limited at the Eastwood Mall and was informed by an employee that they remain open for now, but most of the stock is picked over.

The employee, who wished to remain anonymous, said the last day of business for the Eastwood store will be January 7.

A few hours later, The Limited sent another email to the customers who had been informed that the Southern Park Mall was closing,

It reads, "Whoops! You received an email in error announcing The Limited store near you was closed, however the Limited at Southern Park is still open.  We apologize for the mistake and hope to see you in the store soon where you'll find amazing deals on looks you'll love."

While the email says that the Southern Park Mall store is not currently closed, it does not address the future of the store.

Joe Bell, Director of Corporate Communications for the Cafaro Company which operates the Eastwood Mall, tells 21 News he has been informed that all Limited stores have received word that they will also be closing on January 7.

There have been media reports of other closings by The Limited around the country.

A spokesperson for Sun Capital Partners, which acquired the company, said that they are declining to comment at this time.

Late last month the Limited Stores LLC informed the State of Ohio that it planned 435 permanent layoffs at its Columbus area headquarters, with a note that they may even be closing that office entirely.

The notice, filed under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining notification act, said that they were exploring the possibility of selling the company.

Bell says the Eastwood Mall will now begin the process of finding another business to occupy the space that The Limited now occupies.

The Limited was founded in 1963 in Columbus, Ohio.
