Whether it was market conditions or the behavior of their lenders that drove Aeropostale into bankruptcy, the teen-oriented clothing retailer has difficult decisions to make about which stores to keep and which to close. They’ve already decided on a preliminary closing list. However, since how liquidation sales normally work is that prices get hiked back up to the original retail price and then gradually lowered, don’t expect any sales on jeans, sweaters, and t-shirts if there’s a closing store near you for a little while yet. Also, keep in mind that the employees working the liquidation sale are normally store employees who are about to lose their jobs. Be nice to them. We reformatted the closings list from the original court document: you can sort the list by state, city, or mall name if you feel so inclined.
