Fashion Brand Charlotte Russe Declares Bankruptcy, to Close 3 Philly-Area Stores

The clothing store chain Charlotte Russe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announced plans to close 94 stores, including three in the Philadelphia region.

The fashion brand supplied NBC10 with a list of stores slated to close including one in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and two in South Jersey. No word yet on when the stores will close.

These are the Philadelphia area Charlotte Russe stores slated to close:

Of those, more than one dozen other mall and outlet locations in the tri-state region, including stores in Cherry Hill, New Jersey; Whitehall, Pennsylvania; Dover, Delaware; and Philadelphia, are not included on the store closing list.

"Charlotte Russe and Peek stores and online platforms are currently open and continuing to serve customers," a news release said.

Charlotte Russe calls itself a "fashion brand for young women, offering affordable on-trend apparel, shoes and accessories for all sizes, with a fun and engaging shopping experience wherever and whenever she wants."
