March 7 (UPI) -- Fashion retailer Charlotte Russe said Wednesday it will close more than 500 retail stores in the United States after it failed to find a buyer while in bankruptcy.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein approved the company's request to liquidate its assets. Charlotte Russe initially received approval to close 94 stores when it first filed for bankruptcy in February as it searched for a buyer.
