Which Dressbarn Stores Are Closing In 2019? A Full List Of Locations

Ascena Retail Group (ASNA), the owner of Dressbarn, has announced it will eventually shut down all 650 branches of the women's clothing franchise. The chain has been around for nearly 60 years.

Twenty-eight Dressbarn stores will shut down between June and July of this year.

"The decision was difficult, but necessary, as the Dressbarn chain has not been operating at an acceptable level of profitability in today's retail environment," Dressbarn chief executive Steven Taylor said in a statement. "During the wind down process, we will continue to provide our customers with the same great experience both in-store and online, offering them even better deals and value."

The Ascena Retail Group, which is headquartered in New Jersey, also owns other women's clothing brands such as Ann Taylor, Justice, Lane Bryant and Loft.

Dressbarn was founded in 1962 by Elliot and Roslyn Jaffe, and started with a single store in Stamford, Connecticut. The store's mission was to be a one-stop shop for women in the workforce.

Retailers across the country have been shutting down this year amid the rise of e-commerce retailers such as Amazon (AMZN). The convenience of online delivery is making it difficult for traditional stores to compete.

American Apparel, J.C. Penney and Macy's are just a few of the many outlets shutting down stories this year due to financial stress.

Here is a full list of the 25 Dressbarn locations that will shut down in June, according to the company's official website.
