The well-known children's jewelry and ear-piercing retailer released a list of the 291 locations that are shuttering in a bankruptcy court filing on Monday, Aug. 25. That includes 71 Claire's and Icing stores across the Northeast. The closures add to the financial pressure facing the mall chain, which filed for bankruptcy earlier in August. Claire's is working to restructure nearly $500 million in debt by December 2026, Bloomberg reported. Columbia, Maryland-based Ames Watson, a private holding company, has agreed to acquire the North American business and intellectual property for Claire's. The deal is awaiting court approval. Claire's CEO Chris Cramer previously said the deal was meant to keep the brand alive through restructuring.
