Destination Maternity, the parent company behind expectant mama fave retailers Motherhood Maternity and A Pea in the Pod, is reportedly shuttering more than 180 of its stores.
The closings come as the company recently voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. According to Lisa Gavales, Chair of the Office of the CEO, in a press release, “This decision is a difficult, but necessary one.”
Gavales continued, “In a challenging retail environment, we have had to make some very tough choices, but we are confident that the steps taken today provide an opportunity to continue a marketing process that provides the most efficient means of maximizing value to our stakeholders. Throughout this process we will be focused on developing the promising interest already shown by potential bidders, and maintaining operational momentum toward a stronger business.”
Several Motherhood Maternity locations were already slated for closing prior to the Chapter 11 filing announcement. Look for deep discounts during liquidation sales. These stores include:
- Central Mall: 5111 Rogers Ave., Fort Smith, Arkansas
