The chain announced in its original filing in June that the stores were struggling to pay debts because of "macroeconomic factors."
Due to ongoing negative macroeconomic factors and their uncertain impacts on the Company’s business, results of operations, and cash flows, the Company expects to experience further operating losses and expects to experience difficulty remaining in compliance with such covenants.
It's unclear when these stores will shut down completely, but until then, they are having sales of up to 20 percent off to get rid of the remaining inventory.
