Victoria’s Secret
In 2018, the lingerie and womenswear retailer shut down 30 stores, and more are expected this year. Earlier this year, L Brand, its parent company, made the announcement that they will shutter another 53 Victoria’s Secret locations. The closures make up 4 percent of their 1,143 stores all over the world.
Henri Bendel
All of the two dozen Henri Bendel locations nationwide shuttered in early 2019. L Brands, its parent company, made the announcement that Bendel’s website and stores, including the Fifth Avenue store in New York, would close down last fall. The company decided it would be best to put its attention on brands with better potential such as Bath & Body Works and Victoria’s Secret.
