Another Round Of Fred’s Store Closures: Full List Of 129 Locations Closing

Following the announcements that it would be closing 313 stores; Fred’s Inc. (FRED) has added 129 more locations to its closure list. The company said it will begin to hold “inventory clearance” sales at all of the stores as it looks to “simplify its store portfolio and repay debt.”

Following the 129 stores closures, Fred’s will operate a total of 80 locations which it said will be primarily located around its distribution center in Dublin, Georgia. The company said it would reevaluate re-launching the certain stores that it has closed in the future as it undergoes a “new operating model.”

Through its “inventory clearance” sales, Fred’s intends to repay its outstanding debt under its revolving credit agreement. The company will work with Malfitano Advisors, LLC and SB360 Capital Partners for the clearance sale process.

Fred’s said all of its pharmacies will remain open. This includes the 69 pharmacies that are located within the 129 stores that it announced it was closing. The company is looking to sell its remaining 166 pharmacies to “monetize pieces of its real estate portfolio.” Fred’s sold its pharmacy files to Walgreens in 2018 for about $165 million.

“While it is never easy to make decisions that impact our valued employees and customers, this initiative represents another necessary step in our continued efforts to stabilize our business by simplifying our store portfolio and product assortment,” Joseph Anto, Fred's CEO, said.

“We are pleased to present our loyal customers the unique and compelling opportunity to purchase heavily discounted items for a limited time. We encourage shoppers to take advantage of these unmatched deals, and stock up on items that may be permanently removed from Fred’s shelves, come August,” he added.
