A popular children’s retailer is closing two of it’s Tucson stores.
Gymboree Corporation recently announced it would close 350 stores nationwide as a result of it’s bankruptcy filing and the need for restructure.
The San Francisco-based company said Tuesday most of the closures will be Gymboree and Crazy 8 stores. Among those are the Gymboree store at the Tucson Mall and Crazy 8 store at the Tucson Spectrum shopping center.
The list of closures includes the Gymboree store at the Tucson Mall (4500 N. Oracle Road) and Crazy 8 at the Tucson Spectrum shopping center (5121 S. Calle Santa Cruz).
The company filed for bankruptcy protection in June amidst strong competition from online companies and a steady decline in mall traffic.
One good thing about the closures is that shoppers can enjoy major discounts right now as the two locations hope to get rid of their merchandise.
