"Fashion retailer Francesca’s plans to permanently cease operations following a “periodic progression” of store closures and layoffs that began last week, per a Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act document filed in Texas.

The closure of the retailer’s corporate home base in Houston, Texas, will impact 202 employees on a rolling basis, according to the notice dated Jan. 14 and signed by Chief Stores and Culture Officer Christine Kaighn.

Francesca’s operates over 450 stores across 45 states, according to its website. Two locations that Retail Dive visited within the past week — one in Maryland and one in Maine —  had storewide sale signs posted."
