Ascena Retail Group has announced that its Dressbarn brand is planning to commence a wind down of Dressbarn’s retail operations, including the eventual closure of its approximately 650 stores. This decision has no impact on the operations of any of Ascena’s other brands and will further strengthen the company’s overall financial performance.

“For more than 50 years, Dressbarn has served women’s fashion needs, and we thank all of our dedicated associates for their commitment to Dressbarn and our valued customers. This decision was difficult, but necessary, as the Dressbarn chain has not been operating at an acceptable level of profitability in today’s retail environment. During the wind down process, we will continue to provide our customers with the same great experience both in-store and online, offering them even better deals and value. We will work to assist our associates through the transition and maintain existing relationships with our vendors, suppliers, and other key stakeholders through this process.” Steven Taylor, chief financial officer of Dressbarn, said.

All Dressbarn stores are open and conducting business as usual, as is Dressbarn’s e-commerce site. Customers can continue to shop at Dressbarn in-store and online and use Dressbarn-branded credit cards for purchases. There are no current changes to Dressbarn’s return, refund, or gift card policies, Dressbarn said in a press release.

Dressbarn intends to continue paying its vendors and suppliers in full in the ordinary course for products and services provided to Dressbarn during its wind down process. Troy Taylor, president of financial advisory and investment banking firm Algon Group, has been appointed as independent director to the board of directors of The Dressbarn. (RR)
