In November 2020, Francesca stated that it would close approximately 140 stores by the end of January 2021. The women’s boutique chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December, with plans to sell the company, including its physical stores. According to USA Today, the company now has 558 locations but “plans to renegotiate a variety of leases through this process, which could result in the closure of additional boutiques,” according to a statement issued to the publication.
