The Claire's store in Statesboro, Georgia, is set to close it's doors soon, part of a sweeping, nation-wide shut down after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for a second time.
The company announced to PR Newswire on August 6, 2025, that it has commenced voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy Court of Delaware to maximize its business value, claiming that all stores in North America will remain open while the company continues to explore all strategic alternatives.
The proceedings came due to a number of factors including increased competition, consumer spending trends, the shift away from brick-and-mortar retail, current debt obligations and macroeconomic factors.
Claire's bankruptcy isn't only affecting the U.S. locations, however. Similar proceedings are also being made in Canadian stores as well under Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
The closure of the Claire’s location in Statesboro has been confirmed, with clearance sales currently underway offering discounts of 10 to 30% as part of a broader series of store shutdowns.
