The company has not announced a timeline for closure.

The continuing negative economic impact of COVID-19 was largely blamed for the decision, according to corporate parent company Tailored Brands President Dinseh Lathi.

Following these changes, the company expects to pay about $6 million in severance pay and other termination costs.

Tailored Brands has an estimated 1,500 stores across all of its brands.
