Express, the longtime mall clothes retailer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware and will close 95 stores, the Columbus, Ohio-based brand announced Monday.

Closing sales at affected stores would begin Tuesday, April 23, the company said in a press release.

Express operates about 530 Express, Express Edit and Express Factory Outlet stores in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, according to the store locator, as well as seven stores in Mexico and Central America.

All of Express' brands are still fulfilling orders and processing returns. Its merchandise policies remain unchanged, and gift cards and store credits are being redeemed in-store.

“We continue to make meaningful progress refining our product assortments, driving demand, connecting with customers and strengthening our operations,” CEO Stewart Glendinning said. “We are taking an important step that will strengthen our financial position and enable Express to continue advancing our business initiatives."
