"Popular teen accessories and ear-piercing outlet Claire's, which announced earlier this month they are filing for Chapter 11, has begun shuttering stores in the Bay Area. This is the second time the chain has filed for bankruptcy since 2018 citing large debt load and fierce competition from online retailers. Crowds are flocking to two of the mall-based outlets that are touting mass liquidation sales of as much as 80 percent off."
"But it you want a deal, better hurry. Stores are planning to shut down for good on Sept. 7. Over the weekend the Emeryville store had long lines of customers purchasing 10 jewelry and accessory items for $10. If you need ear piercing, however, you'll have to visit one of the other stores that remain open. List of Claire's still open: Eastridge Mall, San Jose Hillsdale Shopping Center, San Mateo San Francisco Premium Outlets, Livermore Sand Creek Crossing, Brentwood Searramonte Center, Daly City"
Claire's filed for Chapter 11 earlier this month and has begun closing Bay Area stores. The chain previously filed for bankruptcy in 2018, citing heavy debt and strong online competition. Two mall-based outlets, Bay Street Emeryville and Newpark Mall Newark, are hosting liquidation sales with discounts up to 80 percent, drawing large crowds. Several customers purchased 10 jewelry and accessory items for $10 at the Emeryville location. Affected stores plan to close permanently on Sept. 7. Ear piercing services are available only at other remaining Bay Area Claire's locations listed below.
