Another business claims it has fallen victim to the pandemic and announced that it plans to shut down stores, including three in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys.

Christopher and Banks Thursday filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which includes a list of stores being closed.

Listed among the closing locations are those at the Eastwood Mall, Southern Park Mall, and the outlet store at Grove City Premium Outlets.

The retailer, which specializes in women’s apparel and accessories, plans to hold store closing sales.

“Since the start of the COVID pandemic, we have taken aggressive steps to protect our business while continuing to serve our customers in a healthy and safe environment,” said Keri Jones, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the tremendous advancements we have made in executing our strategic plan, due to the financial distress resulting from the pandemic and its ongoing impact, we elected to initiate this process and pursue a potential sale of the business in whole or in part to position the Company for the future.”

Founded in 1956 when Gil Braun opened his first Braun’s store in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Brauns Fashions became publicly traded in 1992 and rebranded to Christopher & Banks Corporation in 2000.
